You are right, the system is sick and everything is going to get worse, especially in Italy, which has now lost its appeal. In this world of entertainment if you do not invest you gain nothing and unfortunately Italy has not invested anything, rather it has fossilised. Once upon a time Serie A was of great interest because it was the championship of the seven sisters (Juventus Milan Inter Rome Lazio Parma and Sampdoria) who contended for the scudetto right to the end, now it is just Juventus Inter Milan dominance and nothing else

well yes, many teams have a lot of debt because they spend the money very haphazardly, very exaggerated salaries for players and astronomical transfer costs
not to mention the salaries of the coaches, all this money cannot come from simple season tickets
the system is sick and destined to get worse as the number of fans dwindles more and more

I think they were going for the title for a while, and they were tied, going neck and neck with Inter. After all of the injuries, things changed and now they are not looking anything like they used to.

This should be the most important part, I understand that it is not going to be easy to accept for them but they need to have a bigger depth not higher quality of players. They wanted to have a better eleven, but that came at the cost of not having a great bench and depth, which resulted with them being horrible when one of their good players injured. This means that during this summer, they need to replace anyone that leaves, but also need to have better bench players that can help them be a lot better if anything happens to other players.

Many teams in all leagues are in debt, the only ones are the super loved ones, which have very strong companies behind them that spend money on famous names, but these companies are more companies than football teams, they spend and do things wisely, see Real Madrid for example, just one name.

At the start of the season, Juventus' performance was quite good, even since the start of the season they have experienced this problem, but this has not had a significant effect on their performance because there are supporting players who are able to cover it and maintain team stability. The large number of injured players is not a reason in my opinion, but it is. Their motivation had decreased when they were unable to compete with Inter Milan in the race for the Scudetto and this bad thing continued to happen for a long time so that up to now they have not been able to recover.

For the opportunity to compete with AC MIlan in the battle for 2nd place, I think there is no longer a possibility for Juventus, the two teams are in different performance trends, AC Milan is on fire and Juventus is in decline.
Now Juventus must get up and focus on maintaining their position to finish in the top 4, that's enough in my opinion.

he certainly wouldn`t have won the scudetto even with Spalletti, but probably being stable as a team he could certainly have done much more than he did this season
This season has been truly bad for Napoli, terrible from every point of view.. nothing is good and the season not end

Indeed Juventus has been going through a lot of injuries if not they would have surely go far more than the way they are now because it has affected there performance that there last three matches has been a sad one for them, although somehow they tried for a club that been having some injuries to still maintain the current position they are. Although there is still chance for them to compete with AC Milan on the second position because even if Juventus may have not been on there best performance this season but they surely have an advantage over there upcoming matches because most of those matches may likely not going to trouble them too much because they have a good advantage of wining especially there upcoming match against Lazio they will possibly win Lazio because they have more quality players than Lazio but if they are not consistent on this matches they will not have a chance to compete with AC Milan on the the second position.

The Italian clubs unfortunately are very indebted, we are now in total decline, before they can make purchases they must necessarily sell a few players to be able to make transfers, they also wait for funds from television rights and placement in the standings. Inter despite having a very competitive team make targeted purchases and especially in free transfers such as Taremi and Zielinsky who are already promised to Inter, in addition, the company Inter is in the process of changing ownership, if by May 20 Zangh does not repay the debt the new owner will be Oaktree

I checked my usual source (BBC Sport) to read some transfer speculations today and the interesting point is there was only one related to a Serie A club.  

I'm linking this to the big debt big Serie A clubs have been in. What do you say? They are of course making transfers in summers but generally we don't see them spending a huge amount of money on a player. Inter have a quite strong level of squad though. However other big clubs would really need some good transfers to get more competitive for the league championship.

We have seen really good coaches coming here but not being able to do much because of money problems for transfers.

Most probably with Spalletti at the helm there would have been a different championship for Napoli, I think you are right, maybe he wouldn't have ruined the championship but he would have fought for a position in the top four. Mazzone was a great coach and had the good fortune to coach the greatest of them all, my idol as a child, the divin codino Roberto Baggio! What memories! I shed a tear

in my opinion, with Spalletti, Napoli would have at least maintained their position in the top four. Often a coach motivates the players a lot, such coaches are quite rare, I remember Carlo Mazzone very well who was like a father to the players and they listened to him as one listens to a father

I liked it a lot Mazzone

Injuries really had a role in Juventus to get worse. I mean Juventus already don't have a very impressive squad I'm afraid. When they struggle with injuries too things are just turning into a nightmare.

I believe there is a serious need of squad quality improvement for the team now. They need to strengthen their attacking side more above all else. They are very good at defending already but their main issue is with scoring.

44 goals in 29 league games is just terrible statistics if you ask me.    You can't be the champion with this performance while Inter are destroying everyone in the league. I guess that Juventus board would figure a way out.

Unfortunately, we could never know what would have happened if Spalletti had remained on the bench of Napoli for another year. This story reminds me a lot of when Mourinho surprisingly left Inter after winning the Champions League final, I think he saw that more could not be achieved and that he had reached the maximum, in fact then Inter went into total decline in the following years. The stories are similar! Returning to Napoli, I hope they can at least reach the Europa League because by now the Champions League is difficult to catch but not impossible, but they would need a miracle.

As long as there is still chance and they haven't really failed then it can be said that they can and are able to get it, maybe some people will never believe in this success but who knows if Juventus could have luck and there will be instant changes that occur.
Match still leaves some time for preparation, during this semifinal they will only play Lazio and it is certain that Juventus will be the team to compete in the final.
Moreover, the other semi-final match is Fiorentina vs Atalanta and whoever wins this match to advance to the final will definitely be beaten by Juventus, just look at them, they are still below Juventus, even in terms of performance they are behind Juventus.
There will be great confidence for Juventus to win the Italian Cup title this season, after all Juventus is also the most successful team with 14 Italian Cup titles.

Significant changes that occurred at Juventus this season after the bad conditions last season with series of problems that occurred have become clear evidence that Juventus will still be able to return to being strong team in Italian football.
Maybe this season Juventus failed to compete for the Serie A title, but next season there will definitely be an opportunity to come and make Juventus champions, as has happened before Juventus is the king of Italian football with the most titles.

It was really like a miracle season for Napoli. I have nothing to say against that. However I would really like to see what would happen if Spalletti stayed for one more year at least. I guess we will never find out.    Because some managers are really very good at bonding with the players strongly and maybe Napoli players were also going to show the same ambition again.

Osimhen extended his contract by only a year. This must be a proof that he doesn't intend to stay long if Napoli can't even join the Champions League again.

PSG is already speculated with Osimhen. They must be thinking of him as Plan B in case of Mbappe's leaving.

In my opinion Spalletti last year realised that he had made a miracle and that he was unlikely to continue with winning results, in fact when there were only a few days left before the end of the championship Napoli's performance had dropped dramatically, like the resounding defeat in the Champions League against Milan. For me Napoli last year was a flash in the pan and in this championship we have had confirmation of that. It is difficult to say that the top players will remain, without Champions League I see it very hard.

Juventus will qualify for the next Champions League I am more than sure, they cannot afford to miss this goal, because being absent for two consecutive years from the Champions League means a very big loss of money. Surely the fans will suffer until the end of the championship but in my opinion the four teams that will go to the Champions League will be Inter Milan Juventus Roma

Such a downfall by Napoli in only a year.    Now we see them trying to hold onto top 6 to be able to join a competition at least. The players reacted really badly to Spalleti's departure you know. When Rudi Garcia came I really wonder what happened behind the scenes. Because as far as I remember his tactical preferences had really nice similarities to Spalletti's. 

This big recession might cause Napoli to lose at least one of their stars in this summer also, what do you think about that?

Especially Osimhen or Kvaratskhelia might leave. I don't know about Kvaratskhelia for now but I think Osimhen's probability of leaving is stronger.

Well I don't understand what the point is About them not being motivated, Although they are clear that they have gone through very difficult times because they have to react, they have 2 big Problem s, they passed and Overcame them, they have to remember that things are not theirs. It did so well at the time that they just Started fighting to qualify in the Top 4, it's hard to be told from Serie A that you won't be able to qualify for other competitions, neither UCL, nor Anything , just Remember that you Should be a sufficient motivation , Right now they are coming up with very good, very definitive matches, they cannot let their Guard Down , Bologna has been Breathing down Juve's neck for a while Now, they will see if they let themselves be Caught, Juve has to change the Mentality GetMotivated, get Inventive, it's a lifelong club.

Juventus must accelerate their attempts to sign main target to anticipate Liverpool threat

I mean they can, there is a possibility of it, but I do not think that they will do even that much. It's obvious that they are in over their head for the time and I think it's going to be a tough decision to make as well. I get that it's going to be a difficult decision making and eventually we are going to see it change for a while, but we need to keep it going for as long as possible.

I personally believe that the best thing to do in this case would be just focusing on what we could do personally and I believe that betting on Juventus to win it is still way too risky for me. I am not saying they will not win it, all I am saying is that I will not bet on them to win it, there is a big difference, I just don't want that risk.
