the coach. For four months, Maurizio Sari insisted on doing the thing for which he came to Juventus: the artist. Game after game he tried to concoct the most appropriate composition and set for the old lady, replaced Federico Bernardsky with Douglas Costa, placed Ramsay's coffin alongside Bliss Matwidi, switched from 2: 4: 4 to 1: 2: 3: 4, mix, squat, Sleep, he looked. But his Juventus looked like a puzzle without a solution, a labyrinth without an exit, a puzzle whose parts were not complete. Suddenly, coaching a team that has won eight consecutive championships in walking seems at least as difficult as a PhD in medicine.
For four months, Sari explained that things are not as simple as they seem to have gone through a pro course, and sometimes the best players do not necessarily produce the best team. Thus, for four months, he elaborated and reasoned why the Dibala-Higwain-Ronaldo trio is a dream that could not come true in Surrey's world. For four months the fantasy of Yuba fans was her coach's nightmare.
And here on Saturday, opposite Odinese, Sari surrendered. The three opened together in the lineup for the first time - and Juventus provided its best half of the season. Three goals, two of the Portuguese, a wonderful collaboration. From the beginning of the season, they spent a total of 130 minutes together, during which time Yuba scored seven goals and did not suffer. So why didn't Sari put them all the time? Apparently, and there is no other explanation, the man is afraid of being unemployed.

The actor. Philippa Coutinho is required this season to be his own sales agent. After his high value plummeted in Barcelona, he arrived in Bayern with the aim of displaying his wares and hoping that by the end of the season the loan deal would become a sale. This is a stressful and not easy situation, will tell you every independent in the economy, and until last Saturday the Brazilian could not convince anyone that there is a good product here.
Fortunately, on Saturday, Werder Berman arrived in the city, the 2010 group serving as the Munich Munich showcase. In the last 21 sessions she lost 21 times, and in those 21 times she scored 75 goals. Facing a group that is a bulletin board, Coutinho seized the opportunity and put up a perfect advertising sign: a wonderful three-pointer, two brews and a choice for the cycle player in Germany. How did David Alaba conclude by saying, "Have you seen the game? We must buy it!" And that, ladies and gentlemen, is first-rate self-promotion.

The group. For pre-Messi Ronaldo Spanish league fans, Deportivo La Coruna is a sweet memory. The current Millennium Champion, the Cup Trophy of 2002, the team of Roy Mackay and DeJalminia, Sergio Consasso and Donato, the exhilarating bunch of Fran and Juan Carlos Valeron.
For fans of the Spanish league after the Messi Ronaldo era, de Coronado deported on her way to being a distant memory. myth. Six months after being one victory away from returning to the Senior League, Dafor was ranked last in the second league, with one win in 20 cycles and a crisis that threatens to send her to the third league basements.
Within a few months, she made all the possible mistakes - choosing a coach, players, management, fans - and despite the league's sixth budget, she hasn't won a football game since the first round, in August, against Real Oviedo. And what did they not try to do to save the situation? Nine coaches changed in three seasons, management resigned, presidents changed, players were acquired, and nothing worked. The fans of the team are so desperate that they ask for nothing. "Do something, please," a sign said in the last game, hoping her dying coronia would leave one last memory before parting.

the young. At 17 and 35 days, over the weekend Eduardo Kamabinga Meran became the youngest French occupier since 2012; At 18 and 75 days, Mason Greenwood was the youngest to occupy Manchester United uniforms at Old Trafford since 2009; At 17, Jan Tillman became the first born in the Bundesliga to play 2002 and become the second youngest player to wear P.S. Cologne.
To these should be added Real Madrid's 18-year-old Rodrigo, Barcelona's 17-year-old Enzo Pati, Atlanta's 17-year-old Amad Traure and many other 10-year-olds making corps in Europe. It is hard not to look at this sad regret without asking: Why are we so afraid of giving young people a chance?
