Hello I'm Jamie,
I'll be bringing you my current opinions about the current affairs that are happening within Serie A.
Enjoy!
Downfall of Serie A?
Ever since I've been young i have admired the big hitters of Serie A, most importantly AC Milan and Juventus. This was due to the fact of the skill and simple pace of this league which showed how a players in this league could create an art with a ball. As of recent i have been concerned with this type of play due to the fact it is being out played by a faster stronger type of game. Many people could also believe that the Serie A has hit a downfall because of the Calciopoli. This has clearly effected the Serie A due to the lack of current interest.
On the other hand, Inter Milan did win the champions league this year showing that maybe there isn't a problem within this matter. Yet i believe the talent leaving Serie A and being linked away will be too critical for the league and with Serie A having a very aging group of stars who are clearly going past their prime. With stars like Pirlo and Zanetti at an old age of 31 and 36, it brings in to question when the younger stars will shine on the main stage. With younger stars such as Hamsik and Pato playing games regularly bring in to question when other young stars such as Giovinco and Balotelli when will they actually play for the first team all the time.
With transfers looming we have seen the young talented Cavani join Napoli linking up another young star in Hamsik showing that maybe Napoli could be a future contender for the Serie A title as they look the build for the future. AC Milan are also looking to make things look even worse to their aging squad by adding Alyaksandr Hleb to their team. Which confuses me quiet abit. Player of the world cup Forlan has also been linked to join to Juvetus which should be a good option to sort their striking problems out with the aging Trezequet linked with a move away.
Finally, I some how believe that the aging stars could actually show the young stars of Serie A how to play with Antonio Di Natale scoring an impressive 29 goals last season giving him the top goal scorer award being at the age of 32. Also the skillful Diego Milito scoring 22 and being at the age of 31 showing younger players how to do it. Maybe the Serie A will just be a place where teams from Europe can just head hunt other players which could therefore lead to the downfall of the Serie A
