They will be able to coexist Mario Balotelli And Patrick Vieira on the bench of Genoa? Fabio Capelloformer coach of Juventus, Milan, Roma and Real Madrid, gave his interpretation of the situation to La Gazzetta dello Sport. An opinion that should not be underestimated, given that he knew the former midfielder in the past: “It’s clear that when you become a coach from a footballer you think differently: Balotelli has always loved working with the ball at his feet, a little less when ‘we had to move collectively and Vieira pointed it out. But in football at this level there is always an opportunity to make peace.”
Is he the right coach for Genoa?
“A boy who I met as a very young footballer at Milan, and then found him again as an established champion at Juventus: he has always been intelligent
and for good. I met him some time ago, when he was on the bench at Crystal Palace, where he did well in his first year, also showing a good game. Patrick comes from the school of Arsene Wenger and that Arsenal of which he was one of the cornerstones for an entire decade. His idea of football seems to me to be exactly that.”
Ultimately, what do you expect from Vieira at Genoa?
“Only one thing: as a former great midfielder he makes the team turn around.”
