The Old Lady Vs Juve...











I sat bored with nothing to do and I just began to randomly type in things into google. The resulting data was surprising and rather hilarious- Juventus actually is Latin for youth yet their nickname is the Old Lady and some of the tactics go against youth...Yes you all got it I'm once again referring to the sale of Diego. At only 25 one would have hoped or expected them to keep him especially since the name of the club is Youth!! With all due respect can Alex Del Piero really keep playing at such a high level.. The guy is 36 after all, yet Luigi Del Neri has brushed off remarks from Diego and has claimed that the talinsmatic Del Piero is his Diego- okay but for how long? And Amauri and Iaquinta are not really spring chicken, bot in their 30's. But who am I to go against the great minds in Turin, it just seems like they're not taken into account the long term implications.

But it's not all doom and gloom, Juve do have some youth in Claudio Marchisio. Giorgio Chiellini, Poalo De Ceglie, Milos Krasic, Leonardo Bonucci and Davide Lanzafame. But Italian footballing culture is always distrusting of their youth product like with Sebastian Giovinco who only had a cameo appearance last season but there are some exceptions but those are awfully rare.. Well only time will tell if this old lady will be given a nip/ tuck.
