Special guest a Maracanain the afternoon of TMW Radio: let’s talk about the former Juventus and national team defender, Moreno Torricelli.
Has something different been born in Leipzig at Juventus?
“They put in an excellent performance, which boosts morale. Bringing it home 10 against 11 gives an incredible emotional boost. Once you’ve had a truly great match, they’re the ones that make you work better and that make you understand the work you’re doing can bear fruit. It can give a lot of self-esteem to the group.”
How much does Bremer’s injury take away?
“He’s an important player in this team, he’s determined and he’s a tough guy. During a season, however, certain things happen, but Kalulu is proving to be a player of absolute depth. It’s happened to me several times that I’ve lost a teammate. important, see Ferrara but also Baggio. Certainly sorry for your teammate, but he can give you an extra boost, like ‘let’s win for you’. There can be that emotional shock that leads you to give something more.”
Vlahovic has divided the fans, there are those who wonder if he is really from Juventus. What do you think?
“There’s always work to be done, both for better and for worse. It’s clear that a lot is always expected from him, but even last year, in a Juve team that struggled in attack, he scored 18 goals. It’s true who hasn’t scored for 4 Sundays this year, but he is a center forward who is among the top three in the Italian scene, together with Lautaro and Lukaku. And he is 24 years old, as time goes by he will find the psychological balance he needs He cares a lot, when something goes wrong he loses his mind and has to control himself, he is a center forward of absolute value.”
Did you see any flashes of the past in Leipzig? Can Motta follow in Lippi’s footsteps?
“Yes, it’s true. I don’t like making certain comparisons, but I saw an exciting team again. Usually when you go down you tend to defend yourself, but this didn’t happen. But it’s a match, now we have to accelerate and never give up, because Champions and championship are very long. These victories, I repeat, help you understand that you are working well, however I like Motta a lot, he seemed to me to be someone with key ideas right from the start, he gave up very important players and moved on for a long time. his path. He is not afraid to launch young people who are valuable to him.”
How do you see Gatti?
“He is improving a lot, I also see him calmer because last year he sometimes lost his temper. He is a player who knows what he is doing and is improving year after year. With Bremer’s injury he will have to help the whole group, from captain”.
How do you explain Danilo’s situation? How to relaunch it?
“As soon as he arrived I turned up my nose a bit because I didn’t know him much, then once I saw him play I said he’s an exceptional boy, a lover of the team and those colours. I find him a serious person, now in a team with 24 strong players, the technical choice must be accepted. The only thing is that he must prepare as best he can, be ready for the opportunity to arrive, to make him understand that he is there when needed.”
Napoli-Conte, can we aim for the Scudetto?
“Absolutely yes, we know Conte, he always aims for the maximum, the team is attracted and has more or less remained that of the last Scudetto. He can take his chances. I still see Inter as a step above the others, but if they had to stutter Napoli can be included.”
Which team intrigues you?
“I’m happy that Como has arrived in Serie A, it intrigues me because they haven’t revolutionized the team and have signed good players.”
