Frank Causio He played 15 years at Juventus and knows the environment very well. The Baron a Free he gave a long interview, talking about the team of Thiago Motta: “It’s too early to say whether he convinces me or not… Honestly, the victories against Como and Verona are not that reliable, you could see it with Roma. I was at the stadium and I saw a 0-0 match, with zero emotions. I have absolutely no doubts about Motta, he intrigues me, but Giuntoli must give him a month or two to shape the team with the new players. How can you judge Koopmeiners or Douglas Luiz when they have played only a few minutes?”.
Cause he then expressed his opinion on the Bianconeri market: “I don’t argue with Koopmeiners who has the numbers and physique to do very well, but I would have preferred to take Ederson. Every time I see him he amazes me technically and tactically. Vlahovic? He can play as a centre forward and has the physique, but he needs to improve technically, he is still rough and sometimes struggles to understand the game and hit the target. Motta will improve him as he has refined the skills of several young players at Bologna”.
Cause he can’t stand comparisons though: “Yildiz is good, but please let’s not bring up the names of Baggio or Del Piero, much less those of Platini and Sivori. Conceicao the new Causio? Stop. I can’t stand these comparisons just because two players tread the same dirt. On Nico Gonzalez instead I say that I don’t understand why he played as a centre forward against Roma”.
