I previously said Como would be in for a tough week, facing two top Italian teams in a row. But I was wrong. They held AC Milan to a draw and beat Juventus. I thought Como was already a major Italian team. They've been quite consistent in their performances. And it seems like the club's management is truly committed to their duties.
However, the problem is that when an underdog team manages to beat a major team and have a fantastic season, the following season, big European teams will usually take notice of their players and offer higher salaries. This is a classic problem faced by teams with small budgets. Some of their key players will be tempted to join elite European clubs in the hope of a more promising career. Nico Paz is one example, as rumors suggest that Real Madrid are interested in his performance with Como and intend to re-sign him, as they have a buyback clause that would require Como to "sell" him back to Real Madrid.
I assumed because Juventus lost in the UCL, they would play a lot harder at the league and try to win because they want to be fourth and with this game they put even fifth place at risk.
I assumed because they lost at UCL, they would have a reason to play here with heart and win so that they can in theory apologize to their fans for that terrible 5-2 loss at UCL, but they did the worse and lost here too, and if they don't win the UCL game next and go up, and for that winning isn't even enough they have to win by 3 or more, then they are going to be getting hate once again and Spaletti may find himself at the end of a very thin margin.
I am not sure what's going on with the team because they looked far better than this only couple months ago.
