And in the end, a simple defeat in a friendly was enough to turn the Juventus world upside down!
The new coach, the beautiful game, the basketball and the bike rides, the smiles with Dusan, the athletic trainer and the jokes in the middle of the field, the chants of the fans, the photos and the autographs.
Everything destroyed at the first result: ZERO-THREE.
Because at JUVE the result is the only thing that matters, even in a friendly.
Here is the team that returns to Caselle in the evening with the silence of the very few present and the thoughtful faces of the players. Weah striker, Miretti three-quarters, Cambiaso full-back, the Thuram dam, the new balls for Vlahovic (he does not lose the habit of missing penalties), the versatility of the roles, the training of the “exhausted” and never trained like this.
Here it is.
All we were missing was the classic “go to work” chant. I’m not saying we’re at the MOTTA-OUT movement but someone is already trying,
And for what? For a defeat, the first friendly of the new course. Of course, the result hurts and the defensive shortcomings leave one perplexed.
But let’s not fall into the game of catching followers because that’s what it’s all about.
The same people who last summer accused Allegri of defects and horrors are the same people who do the same at the first slip by Motta to title their content with fury.
Don’t fall into their trap.
It doesn’t have to be an Allegri-Motta battle because otherwise we will never get out of it.
There are all sorts of excuses for the new coach, starting with the team he had available in Germany that is anything but the one we will see in the championship against COMO. Giuntoli is quickly changing it and next week there will be other changes in the starting lineup. Thiago doesn’t want excuses but attacking him for the first Lucento of the round seems, honestly, too much to me.
You all are very HALMI. Juventus has only just begun to warm up its engines.
