Mircea LucescuRomania’s technical commissioner, will be at the Allianz Stadium to watch Juventus-Parma and observe closely Dennis Man And Valentin Mihaila. TO La Gazzetta dello Sportthe former Inter manager, describes them like this: “The first has something of Douglas Costa, it’s a mix of technique and imagination: he just needs to find greater continuity. The second, on the other hand, is fast and attacks spaces well, in some ways remembers the first Mkhitaryan, the one I launched in my time at Shakhtar Donetsk.”
What sensations does Thiago Motta, who at 42 years old coaches Juventus, convey to you?
“I like his courage, he is transmitting it to the whole of Juventus and that is what is needed to try to win the scudetto. Motta reminds me of Xabi Alonso: great
midfielders with clear ideas on the bench. I often follow my national team’s Parma and I also respect Pecchia.”
If you could borrow one from Juventus for your Romania, who would you take?
“I would choose Yildiz, a real diamond. Del Piero is a legend. Rather than comparing Kenan to someone from the past, I would compare him to some of the big names of today. Yildiz plays with the courage of Vinicius”.
For January there are some rumors about “his” Dragusin for Juventus.
“Radu is always a starter with us, he is growing and will become a great defender. Now he is focused on carving out space for himself at Tottenham. But if he had to
continue to play little, if I were in Juventus I would give it some thought: he is young, he knows Serie A and the Juventus world. As coach I’m only interested in Dragusin playing and being happy, the rest are managers’ assessments that aren’t up to me.”
