Simone Braglia, coach and former footballer, spoke during the “Piazza Affari” program on TMW Radio to comment on various topics.
What do you think about Szczesny’s retirement?
“I believe that as a goalkeeper, both in sport and in human terms, he is a truly enviable man. I believe he left reluctantly but without making any controversy with the club that did not renew him. I could also read, according to his words, the disappointment of being excluded could have done a lot. Having received a slap in the face like this, being a leader of that group until recently, he could have lost something”.
About the situation at Milan?
“Milan is the team that has won the most in Italy, so we are talking about a prestigious club. Here we never talk about who bought certain players last year. Maldini was fired after some mistakes while it seems to me that Moncada is still there. For me, we need to clarify at Milan what the objective and philosophy are. Once the philosophy has been chosen, we need to give the coach time to make mistakes. After two days, we can’t discuss the coach, we understand that there is a problem higher up”.
What is Milan missing?
“Milan are missing two holding midfielders from last year when they conceded 50 goals. Only one has been signed, Fofana, and we haven’t seen him on the pitch yet.”
Can Juventus fight for the Scudetto?
“Juventus must aim for the Scudetto. The management line of very high competitiveness is given by the club and the coach. This is the extra strength of the Bianconeri”.
Vlahovic or Lautaro who will be the top scorer this season?
“For me, Vlahovic for his emotional state which is completely different from last year. He has all the characteristics to finish all the play that Juventus produces”.
Will Napoli’s stock rise with Lukaku’s arrival?
“I think Lukaku can give his great contribution. It will take time though because with that physique you need time. However, the Azzurri’s stock is rising in view of the championship”.
What should De Rossi change in view of Juventus-Roma?
“Roma must start giving fewer opportunities to their opponents. They must have more balance and in some areas they must exploit the characteristics of their players. In short, they must bring Dybala to the area of the pitch where he is very incisive.”
