underdogs Juventus were teased unmercifully about being the team in the Champions League final four that the other three all hoped they got matched up against

my Juve fan buddy was feeling down about it, especially after their lackluster performance against Monaco in the Elite Eight after a dominant performance againt Dortmund in the Round of 16

I was telling him nobody wants to face Juventus in Turin, where Juventus has only lost 4 times since they opened their brand-new stadium in 2011 (three losses in Series A, one in CL to Bayern Munich)

and Juve, with their new coach, switched to more CL-friendly tactics than the CL-unfriendly tactics Conte employed before leaving Juve to become the new coach of the Italian National Team

nobody wants to face the Juve D, which is world-class and the best of the remaining teams

Juve's midfield is loaded and is as good or better than any of the remaining teams

and TEVEZ is a World Class striker. Their biggest flaw is not having that very very good #2 striker (young Morata is promising, Llorente is above average but still pretty meh)

and even without the young and electric Pogba, Juve takes the 1st leg with a 2-1 legendary victory in Turin!

Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.

      Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
