The best and worst of the Serie A: Season review 2013-14

Last update 21 May, 2014 by Julio Muñoz

Juventus Turin became champions of Serie A this season 2013-14. He did it his way. trampling, being the best despite Roma's brilliant start and breaking the points record by reaching the 102 and win all the games played at home. With the most compensated staff in all of Italy, Nobody could keep up with the pace set by Conte's men who won their third consecutive Scudetto and demonstrated their hegemony for another year in Calcio..

It was not Pirlo's best year (despite the fact that he improved and scored spectacular free-kick goals in the last stretch) ni de Buffon. Neither from Pogba, but yes of Carlos Tévez and Fernando Llorente, who became the fashionable couple. Rome is also spectacular, who kept the type until the end and Naples did well, that under the leadership of Benítez returned to Champions League positions.

It was a somewhat decaffeinated League, partly, because the Milan teams disappointed. AC Milan was a complete disaster. With an aged template, It was never known what he played and he finished out of the European positions for the first time in this millennium. Something went better for its neighbor who entered the Europa League without much play.

Otherwise, Serie A brought the return of the best Rossi before he was injured, the good play of Fiorentina and the goals of Di Natale and Luca Toni, two old rockers who have goal in their blood. Of course both have spare parts, Immobile. The Torino forward surprised everyone by becoming the top scorer of the championship and showing an excellent level throughout the championship.

Under, Catania, Livorno and Bologna were relegated in a championship that ultimately saw Sassuolo saved, the candy expert that debuted in Serie A and that scared more than one.

Lo mejor:

• Juventus. A great team that failed in Europe but not in Italy. Compensated with a great couple in attack and with a Pirlo who, even though he was not at his maximum, left works of art in the form of fouls.

• Higuaín and Callejón. Real Madrid's two previous Neapolitan signings worked. They were great architects of Napoli reaching third place.

• Rudy Garcia. At times, at the beginning, above all, It was thought that Roma would win the Scudetto. A spectacular start leaving the goal spotless, defensive fierceness and good ball handling meant that the capital's residents had some chance to dream.

• The good level of veterans. Totti, Christmas, Luca Toni, Buffon…Italy is a good refuge for thirty-somethings who saw how their good work in the field was not surpassed by that of young people..

Lo peor:

• The lack of competitiveness. Just like in Germany there was no emotion. Since the beginning of the second round, It was known that Juve would win the title.

• The stands. Again, In many fields we witness images of half-empty stadiums. Cagliari draws attention, a horror for the viewer.

• The performance of the Milan teams. From bad to worse, They must start a new era as soon as possible.

Once ideal:

The revelation: Ciro Immobile. No cabe duda de que el 9 Torino was a good forward. But no one expected him to perform at such a level.. Calcio's top scorer, was a key piece in the good work of the “Tour” and this has earned him a call-up for the next World Cup in Brazil.

The disappointment: Ballots. A lot was expected of him and he failed.. He left his talent to a trickle and AC Milan paid for it by not even qualifying for Europe.. Irregular, On top of that he showed that his behavior has not improved. His great virtues disappear due to a bad head that seems to have no solution.

Champion: Juventus

Champions League: Juventus, Rome and Naples.

Europa League: Fiorentina, Inter y Parma.

Decline: Catania, Bologna and Livorno.
