TMW Radio
During today’s appointment with L’Editoriale Luca Marchetti spoke on the frequencies of TMW Radio. These are his words:
What is tonight’s match between Real Madrid and Milan?
“Italian teams must be ambitious and presumptuous, they must increase the pace. Even more so Milan who have the biggest obstacle. There will be very fascinating challenges that take you back to very high level challenges such as Real Madrid and Arsenal, they are important challenges that give you emotions. They are the easiest matches to prepare for, playing in Madrid or against Arsenal is stimulating. There is nothing to lose for Italians, with this formula you can even afford to make a misstep. Milan is called to dust off the luster that it has brought throughout Europe in the past. In 90 minutes anything can happen, even it could be Leao’s night. If we start talking about it now we’ll end up talking only about Leao.”
Do you need an answer today from Leao?
“Yes and no. You can’t expect him to explode overnight, he has shown in a few games that he is extraordinary, but he has to prove it every game. It is a talent that a team like Milan has decided not to allow itself to wait for. It is an individual and group management, but Milan cannot afford the prestige of losing him. It reminds me of the Icardi-Spalletti affair in 2018 in which a strong player was excluded from a few matches, but due to his behavior he was put on the sidelines and even lost his armband. Having made due proportions, I believe that with Leao we want to send a signal. Leao’s talent cannot be wasted, today in Italy a talented but undisciplined player cannot use only the stick. There needs to be balance in the management of Leao.”
What moment is Juventus experiencing?
“We used to complain about a boring Juventus, now it’s exactly the opposite. Juventus is looking for a balance, Thiago Motta is trying to understand where to place Juve’s center of gravity. In matches with the big teams he always played great games, often open, always trying to face the opponent head on. Stuttgart was in difficulty for the first time, a team that faced it head on. I believe that Juve have lost some certainties after Bremer’s injury. At the moment Juve is experiencing the classic of the blanket, if you want to create more you give more to the opponent. Offensive production has increased, but then you concede more defensively.”
