Yes, but Carletto had the luxury to do so, because he had a fresher Seedorf and Kaka. He didn't need Ronaldinho as much as Allegri or Leonardo.

No harm done. But what do you mean by soft? He was amateurish, I can only stay on my initial reassessment. He treated some players, like Pippo badly, others were his favorites. Naah, he made so many errors, I don't even wanna start thinking on him and the whole season.


Too soft as in too friendly, always being the kind guy that doesn't raise his voice at his players, etc. can't quite describe it, but he was soft!

I don't think he treated anyone "badly" really. maybe couldn't keep everyone happy but that's another thing.

+1. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) He was friendly. A bit too friendly for professional football.

No? Then you guys didn't watch closely enough. He treated Pippo almost as Allegri, he made him warm up almost every match he was available for 15 minutes or so, and then just forgot about him or picked someone else or brought him in at 90+. It was irritating as hell, you could see it on Pippo's face.

Well you can say pretty much every coach (in recent memory) did this. Heck, Carlo and Allegri even brought on Ronaldinho at the 89th or 90th minute, if this isn't disrespecting a player then I don't know what is?! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) Sure, treating badly has a broad meaning - it could mean how Alex Ferguson physically beat up David Beckham, or it could mean when a coach holds a grudge against a certain player. It could also mean misbehaving with a player in front of the world, in the media - just like Ibra and Barcelona's Pep.

Anyway, there is a bit of a chain of command here, the coach is the man responsible, so in this respect he has a higher authority than any player in the team. Huntelaar and Inzaghi did respect him for all intent and purposes, props to them. A dirty egg named Gattuso didn't. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) But that's just how it is. Such things have come up since there have been football coaches, and they will keep coming up until the day we find a way to not have coaches at all.

I'm not a fan of Leonardo, never have been, but even I can't deny he can treat anyone badly. Not selecting a player is another matter entirely, and he (or anyone else for that matter) had full authority to do so, as long as he was at the helm. Sure it could be wrong or right, that's subjective. Maybe he could have selected Inzaghi regularly (I do remember him making quite a few appearances that season). Just like he could have selected Huntelaar ahead of Borriello (the Dutchman has been tearing things up at Schalke, 25 goals in 41 matches, 0.61 goal ratio). But I've seen coaches do worse. At least he didn't do this:
