The thing is, even though we won the CL last year the signs were there. I mean, we were struggling bad in the league and everyone could see that our squad is thin and needs reinforcements but they decided not to act.
Therefore, they brought us to a position where we are playing against Juve to keep our CL hopes alive with a back line consisting of Cafu, Favalli, Simic and a Leicester City reject in goal.
We don't have anyone on the bench who can make a difference and when Seedorf, Pirlo or Kaka are out we struggle bad. In Dida we had a liability of a goalkeeper but instead they decided to renew his contract for three years. Everyone knew that we couldn't count on Ronaldo+Pippo to stay fit and yet until December we had only one striker at our disposal, Gila who is a mental-midget. The coach made many requests for players and they were turned down and instead they gave him Emerson. Even now they swoop for two players that the president wants and not the manager.
I'm not discounting what Berlusconi has done for the club but over the past couple of years the management deserves serious criticism.
