Patience, a forgotton virtue..







People are so quickly to label you a failure if you don't bring instant success. This is more true than ever in the world of spots but more so in Football. Juventus is a club with tremendous history and a history based on winning lots of trophies. Lately however, they have fallen victim to their " incredible past". People expect them to be major contender in every competition they're involved in, this is likely to be daunting for any new player, but the player I want to focus on is Milos Krasic.





Milos has incredible speed and amazing dribbling ability yet he is physical rather small and has unfairly be accused of diving. People don't take into account that he is new to the league and maybe he just doesn't wan to end his career to end in agonising pain like Nedved , so he anticipates the hit before it happens and it MAY look likes he's diving but he's not! Anyway, he was praised and loved when he first arrived to Turin, but as soon as his for dropped just a little, the press, his coach and even some of the players turned against him. The Coach would substitute him almost every game and some of his teammates would get angry at Milos,it was clear, Krasic was not a happy bunny. It became increasingly obvious in his body language on the pitch, he rarely looked happy and was not seen to celebrate with his teammates. Krasic is a player for the future, at 26, there is alot he can still do if he was given a chance. But we all know Juve, they like to get rid of players aged 26 and bring in players aged 32!





It's not all the clubs fault, the fans are also very fickle, one moment they are chanting his name and the next they turn their backs on him, I'm not only talking about Krasic, anyone who has a slight dip in form is crucified... and that is largely due to the media frenzy surrounding a player. People must learn to make up there own minds and stick with the choices the have made.
