Some are scarred from their childhoods of gobbi stealing scudetti's.
This very much applies to me. But eduzee is right and the psychological blocks are real.

When Inter play Juventus for points in Serie A, we simply freeze. I liken it to a deer in the headlights. It does not matter how great our form is or where we are in the standings, we simply can not execute and finish the job. The cause is very much historical and psychologocal.

And honestly, I am not saying that to be negative. It is based on fact and if you need convincing, all you need to do is ask when we last won a game in Turin: Stramaccioni 2012. That's close to a decade without a win away from home against them.

Big news for Atalanta and the league as a whole. Sartori has overseen the rise of Atalanta over the last 8 years and their brilliant transfer policy since his appointment in 2014. He similarly worked miracles at Chievo before that, having been appointed as their DT in 1992 and bringing a neighborhood side that was dissolved a year ago to Serie A.

I don't think Atalanta are wrong to choose Gasperini over him (if the reported schism is in fact true), but this may very well mean that Atalanta have lost their spark in the transfer market.

How many more falling outs will Gasp have at Atalanta until they've had enough? Not worth it imo. He's done amazing things there but they'll need to move on eventually.

Looking like Origi might be heading to Milan, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Would be the second time in 2 years that they get my preferred choice (Giroud) for backup striker.

Locatelli has contracted Covid.
He'll be available against us, they are so fkn lucky they have to play against Salerno. Meanwhile Brozo is still not fit and is likely that will miss Fiore clash.

There are rumours Sartori is in talks with Juventus. This would be really bad.

Well, pack it up boys. Juve with money and an ultra-competent DS means the league is wrapped up again.

Meanwhile we’re over here needing to sell Barella in the summer to cover Gagliardini’s wages.

And pay Vidal to fuck off too.

Gonna watch Torino vs Genoa, for Bremer viewing and wonder why Inter couldn't beat these guys or at least one of them!

Genoa goes up 1-0 then Ostigard gets a second yellow in the 24 min!

Holy smokes GENOA wins with 10 men...good for them!

The commentator said " with this loss" how much time does Juric have?:lol:

Not really. Sartori is the master at unearthing hidden gem and polishing them. The process requires time while rube cannot wait for players to develop. Furthermore, agnelli prefers marquee signing to immediately compete for title which is an alien concepet to Sartori. Anyway, I still hope rube will not approach Sartori and they sign Leonardo or Woodward instead :awyeah:
