After 15 points were deducted from Juventus, it was not very interesting to follow them, but now they have this chance and I think that the team understands this and they will do everything to finish the season in the top 4, that would be great!

Juventus' performance this season is good. it's just that they have problems and that makes them unable to compete at the top of the standings. but what amazed me, after they got the point deduction, they got up pretty quickly. and is now in 7th position.
Juventus also qualified for the Europa League quarter-final phase. and also qualified for the Semi-finals of the Italian Cup. Juve's achievements are extraordinary. if he didn't suffer a point deduction, maybe now they have competed with Napoli.

Their performance is average even with the deduction. It is an ok performance for them. They have been a club for several years to score 90 points and even more than that per season. So even if you add those deducted points back, they wouldn't make it 90 points. They have performed below par and now I wonder what they are going to do to improve the squad for the upcoming season. First and foremost they must try to qualify for the Champions League or otherwise it will be hard to sign any stars. Nobody will go there and not be able to play the Champions League.

I have always said something, when it comes to making penalties they should not be applied to the teams in this way, they should be applied to the owners of the teams, the players, the team as such should not suffer, they should do something different as a sanction very big monetary, because in part it takes away the emotion a bit, because the team achieved those 15 points by its own effort and it should not be like that, however at this time Serie A would be more exciting, something like the Bundesliga, however We as good fans must accept these things, if Napoli and Juventus were not dotted.

I have to say that I couldn't agree more. The players really have nothing to do with it unless they have been part of some shady business structures where they are funneling funds to tax paradises and so on. I think that was the case with Messi, Neymar and also Ronaldo? Or some other stars, I cannot remember right now. But it is always the whole team and also the fans and you are definitely right that it is mostly the owners and the management who are to blame. They could even be sent to jail for a year. But I think more often then not those guys are so well connected not only in sports, but often also in politics, that they carry the least of the burden resulting from the penalties. Someone like Blatter from FIFA gets a penalty, yes, but does he care? There were no real consequences for him such that it would influence his life sustainably. The bosses are the ones, the players are just suffering from it and the competition ultimately suffers as well.

However, the problem is if a team has an advantage from it and I think that was the case. When one team does bullshit financially and can therefore sign more players than other teams, then the team must be punished as a whole or you get the competition out of balance in that way.
