At the microphones of Out of Juve on Radio Bianconera Alessandro Birindelli he spoke about the new emerging Juventus signed by Cristiano Giuntoli, touching on the hot topics of these days:
“I think Thiago is the right man for what he showed in Bologna, for how he made the team play, making the most of even little-known players. The Italian-Brazilian coach arrives at the ideal time after years that we could say were “tolerated”, for a series of reasons that we know very well. So the change was needed, the club clearly needs to fully support the coach now”, explained the former defender.
So a bit about the market: “I was already saying it last season. There was and is a lack of full-backs other than the classic ones. Full-backs now become players who are good at coming inside the pitch, they can be wing-backs, or transform themselves into wingers, in short they must be able to do more things because then it becomes difficult to find good ones who can be in this team. With how Motta plays, the external chains become important, so I think Juve must intervene and they will. Adapt? Weah in my opinion is the most suitable player for running ability, he definitely needs to improve the defensive phase, but I don’t think it’s a problem compared to his qualities and in any case he is a player capable of doing more things. On the other hand, I see Gatti more as a wing-back in a three-man line and not a full-back who is asked, for example, to also take on the opponent. So the American boy is better in this sense”.
