The first Italian club to ever build and own its own stadium wasn't Juventus but Reggiana in 1995 (Juventus came second many years later, so this still shows how big of an achievement that was for Juventus). Unfortunately, Reggiana went bankrupt a few years after building its stadium in a very Italian fashion. Reggiana's stadium was then bought by Sassuolo's owner company Mapei (hence, that's why it's now called Mapei Stadium) in 2013 at a bankruptcy auction, so it went back to being one of the very few privately owned stadiums in Italy.

[@perfectsoundforever3775]

It's a shame because Serie A has actually been improving a lot in recent seasons. The league has become one of the most exciting and competitive to watch in Europe, with the style of play moving from a very defensive style to a fast counter attacking style, Serie A outscored the Prem in the last 3 seasons. I think the improvement of the Milan clubs, Napoli & Atalanta through smart scouting has also been important in ending Juventus' hegemony over league. Whilst Juventus crashed out of the Champions League, it's important to note that 3 Italian teams are in the Champions League knockouts this season with very favourable draws, it wouldn't be outside the realms of possibility to see one of them in Semis. Also i'm a bit unsure if Napoli will be picked apart, they're a far bigger club than Lille & Monaco, it's why Koulibaly took about 6 seasons to actually move, Kvara and Osimhen would probably command fees in excess of a £100 million too.

Inter are surprisingly strong in single matches so I think they'll beat Porto over two legs, though I don't know how far they can go. I think Napoli are the most well-prepared to do a deep run in UCL out of the three remaining Serie A teams, perhaps we could do something like Ajax in 2018/19 or Villarreal last season.

Eventhough Juventus has been quite desparate to win the champions league, I still would think that the interest to keep up with the top of europe, financially, was the number one concern and reason as to why they spent so much money and made all this shady business. As a german, Borussia Dortmund's transfer strategy is a very fitting example for me as to how far the PL has risen above any other league in terms of money. Since the value for german players doesn't seem to inflate all that much and frankly brilliant players moving to teams for ridiculously small fees compared to PL fees, the strategy to sign english youngsters hoping for them to improve quick enough to later sell them specifically to the PL for a load of cash seems like the only way to survive in the current state of football.

The argument that what Juventus did is done by all other clubs, (the "it takes two to tango" argument), is true, but the other clubs aren't PLC and that is why they get away with essentially the same practice. When two other clubs swap players, they can come with their value, which can be dreamed up so to speak. Juventus did that, but according to stock exchange rules, that is not allowed.

Hey Alfie, here's a videos idea on the house: the smallest points gaps between champions and the wooden spoon in top flight league football.

[@theklevio1699]

What happened to Melbourne Victory?

[@jackbridge5780]

I know inflation changes things but that juve bought their stadium for what some players are valued at is ridiculous

[@avilaomar10]

Serie A shoots themselves in the foot just to see the best in italy lose, it hurts itself, imagine barca losing 15 points mid season, with all tge financial issues that happend a few years ago but in italy we do it to our selvs

[@ismailahamidoloko707]

Good 👍 video and well done

[@antonioloza5762]

I'm just here for the long intro.

[@samhills6555]

I have a video idea for you: best player to ever play for x amount of clubs So totti could be the best player to ever play for one club and messi for 2 clubs etc

[@Hubris030]

Do you get less adrevenue if I set you on 1.5x?

[@CharlieCade]

How about 7 footballers signed off of incredible international tournaments? Such as El-Hadji Diouf at Liverpool or James Rodriguez at Real Madrid

[@lalitthapa101]

It is the history of the Serie A

[@michelangelobuonarroti4958]

There's another accusation too: On the swap deals there's an accusation that Juventus cooperated primarily with Sassuolo to let them buy players to "bunker" in a sense and to then let them be aqcuired by juve at later dates for favourable rates, essentially transfer fixing. Also ties into the whole swap deal thing.

16:55-16:56 did my guy just say skrting 😂😂💀

[@skm5974]

Doesnt beat my request for a "What is going on at Arsenal" but definitely a good shout. Keep up the good work, Alfie👏👍

[@gejamugamlatsoomanam7716]

Uhh nothing wrong at arsenal,, if anything they are among the best preforming club this year.

[@skm5974]

@@gejamugamlatsoomanam7716 exactly. And as an Arsenal fan, I want to get Alfie's insight as well as his flattery for my team atm😂😂

[@alr68]

If we win the league I wouldn't be surprised if we got an "The rise and fall and rise again of Arsenal" themed video from Alfie

[@skm5974]

He wouldnt dare!!!😮

Keep dreaming bocah

[@robertheron7017]

I love seeing juventus in turmoil cause they are like the Bayern Munich of Italy,must say though that serie a has been much more interesting the past couple of years with a different team has won the title the past 3 years and look's like it will be 4 with Napoli on a tear this year so on that front serie a is much more competitive that is for sure.

[@jeronjoseph5691]

doesnt mean that the league has more quality

[@SwordOfS]

Juventus got the 15 points back and they sit 2nd in Seie A. But it's not over yet. They may end up in 2nd division....

[@debayanbhunia7084]

The most successful Italian club is AC Milan not Juventus

[@waynegoddard4065]

It's Juventus.

[@escape2nirvana]

@@waynegoddard4065 yes with a pathetic 2 champions league compared to milan’s 7 and Inter‘s treble

[@formularguments7335]

Juventus are the most successful domestically anyway

[@Rossoneri2]

They're the most successful in terms of silverware, we're the most renowned for the 7 in Europe

[@escape2nirvana]

@@formularguments7335 and even then that’s more recent than anything

[@gejamugamlatsoomanam7716]

When the one team league the bundesliga are better than the Italian league shows how far the italian game has fallen.

[@ngmmngw9027]

Don’t disrespect the Bundesliga

[@pabbate87]

Absolutely correct

[@francescotrombetta8548]

Bundesliga is actually not better than Serie A, sure they have better stadiums and actually preserve a fidelity system between fans and clubs (50+1 rule); other than that Serie A has better players as well as more clubs competing for the top spots, not to mention that Serie A has a different winner every year from 2019 till now unlike Bundesliga which has been won by the same club for over 10 years now.

[@ngmmngw9027]

​@@francescotrombetta8548 Performance wise outside of domestic League Bundesliga stomps Serie A. If you have have league where most clubs can't fill their own stadiums you won't attract new fans simply because of atmosphere which seems to be non existent.

[@francescotrombetta8548]

@@ngmmngw9027 i've already said that atmosphere wise serie a isn't at the level of Bundesliga but still better teams play in italy, plus european achievements can't be really taken as a criterion since if we were to take into account this premier league would be behind La Liga even though the english league has much more competitivity within its clubs

[@atticusshadowmore3263]

Yeah so quick story. I am an American trying to get into world football, and had a hard time connecting with any premier league teams, so then I thought "oh my ancestors came from a place within Turin, I should support one of those teams" I had two options... this shit is making Torino look rather nice right now.

[@TomBerishaj]

Italy's economy is a shambles. Too regulated in some aspects, which makes building new stadia almost impossible, and not regulated enough in other aspects, like the high level of corruption and kickbacks required to get anything done.

[@TiimoTiimo]

Napoli getting thier players bought maybe, but not picked apart. They will 100% get insane fees for oshimen and kvratskhelia, more than enough to bring in more gems for fractions of the cost, and keep the club ticking for a long time. It's just sensible football manager tactics :D

[@danielkarmy4893]

I well remember the rhyme we used to sing as children in the playground: 'love and marriage, almost the entirety of Italy and rampant corruption, go together like a horse and carr---' what do you mean, it didn't go like that? Maybe we just had the more accurate version...

[@RahulSharma-wq4qy]

7 attackers who have the worst striking rate in PL (having played 70-80 matches). Maybe Like Shane Long, Dani James, Jordan Ayew, Benrahma, Adama, McNeil, Iwobi etc etc

[@Hilversumborn]

Next, what on earth is happening at Ajax?

[@duyanhng8430]

They had a bad coach and sold most of their good players

[@badblood4727]

So why are Barcelona also being penalised for said irregularities!

[@bestrafung2754]

I honestly feel bad for the Juventus fans, players, staff, and manager. Especially the fans who love their club and stuck by Juve even when they were relegated. Punish the owners and get the Italian government involved if needed, but don't punish the fans.

[@MrM4DD0gg]

Corruption levels in football are now so brazen it happens in plain sight. Game has gone and has been gone for at least a decade.

[@gamewithgreg]

And yesterday they lost at home to Monza, which means Juve are now 13th in the table (with Monza being 2 places above them)

[@AntoniusTyas]

I mean, I do appreciate how football and motorsport crossed path but 'Arrivabene indicted for Juventus' alleged dodgy cashflow' is not how I want it to go.

[@omrajput9115]

now i also suspect the ferran torres deal from man city to barca as who in their right mind would pay 55 mil euros for him

[@drmnishikawa]

Despite the fact I despise Juventus, setting a punishment without disclosing the facts and rules which led to it is outrageous, as it does not allow the defendant to argue against its accusation. It is trampling over due process of law in a blatant way.

[@darthplagueis8886]

Mate, if you think Napoli´s team will be picked apart, you clearly don´t know their president.

[@MrTribalDragon]

i don't get how Italian football never seems to learn from it's past mistaes. if you don't do things correctly, you get found out, get punished, and then struggle. all this ever does is damage Italian football even further, for what was once the best league in the world it's such a sorry mess nowadays

[@Seth_rs]

Financial fairplay only applies outside of petrodollar clubs and premier league too

[@bundesautobahn7]

Transfer deals? Weren't they docked 15 points officially for cooking the books?

[@IzzyDaBoiWonda]

you forgot to leave link my friend lol

[@musicaladdiction4147]

Bit harsh on the league yeah 2003 was an all Italy final but Ac Milan in 2005 and 2007 that’s 3 from 5 finals then 2010 inter and juventus making a few finals only England and Spain can really boast a better record

[@LucasOliveira-tt2ll]

I find interesting that italian football teams weren't ran by organized crime families as a way to legitimize their business, instead looking to earn big by match fixing like Totonero 80 and 86 (which could be a nice video, given it was also the first time AC Milan got relegated)

[@paulenka5]
