Talking about the Serie A round in Maracanain the afternoon of TMW Radiowas the former footballer and TV commentator Anthony DiGennaro.
Napoli, Meret injured:
“Meret has been criticized many times, but he remains a strong goalkeeper. But they have Caprile who is a good one.”
Juventus, Motta “zero” in black and white. Why?
“The evolution of football for many leads to playing in multiple roles. Last year at Bologna they had a different centre forward, who dictated the tempo, Vlahovic is different but he is their centre forward. In the league all the teams are covered, in Europe it is different. Three 0-0s clash with what Motta should give. Evolution is fine, but putting Weah adapted in place of Vlahovic. It was certainly a way to spur the Serbian. I like Motta, but if Allegri had done it they would have destroyed him. There is a lack of opportunities up front and it was not expected to be like this. I do not make comparisons, but in his place Allegri would have been heavily criticised”.
Maybe Vlahovic isn’t ready for a big team?
“People make comparisons with Zirkzee, who is a centre-forward on the move, but he is not like that. He doesn’t show up because maybe he makes technical mistakes. Motta doesn’t look at the hierarchy, he plays Savona instead of Danilo. So if Milik comes back maybe he will play. And then today I wonder why Douglas Luiz isn’t playing, because he’s settling in well but he needs to play more”.
