TO TMW Radioduring Maracanathe time has come Stefano Impallomenijournalist and former footballer.
Juve, new home draw. What’s the problem?
“She’s conceding too much. Before she was very balanced, but now she’s not. The real problem was Bremer’s injury. It’s a sensational absence and then the coach’s neurotic rotation. Danilo starts two games and scores 6 goals, then he is always in trouble. On a psychological and physical level he is in difficulty. Then a team that is struggling to see itself was seen until the match against Stuttgart, then the ghosts of the past resurfaced, the fears seen with Allegri that they have fallen back into their previous problems, at least the players seem to think so. Now both Motta and Giuntoli will have to deal with this mental state.”
But whose main responsibility is it?
“The responsibility lies with everyone. Juve is not an ordinary team, Giuntoli and Motta have landed in an uncommon club. Making comparisons with Allegri is ridiculous, but he has made history and they have yet to do so. Let’s leave it alone the past, a lot of money has been spent but the suspicion is there that the purchases are not from Juve. All the fans are angry with Motta’s choices, but if you want to win and be competitive you must have at least some middleweights in front of you on Vlahovic? Ok, but who scores up front that it’s just him? The disconcerting thing is that Motta had kept Danilo out and now lets him play, but we understood why Stuttgart opened Pandora’s box and Motta it went haywire. Now it’s another team. We blame it all on Motta, but what does Giuntoli do?
How do you see Inter?
“The team to beat remains, and Napoli and Atalanta can fit in.”
A message to Fonseca: what would you say to him today?
“A nice lunch with Leao, and a discussion because if they want to move forward for the good of Milan they have to find a meeting point.”
Is it last year’s Juventus?
“It’s different, last year it was at the end of the cycle, Elkann gave full powers to Giuntoli and chose a new coach and a new chapter opens. I think Allegri is the past, but I add: we can put all the blame on Motta , but I see few players from Juve. And that he is a driving force, that he can sustain this crisis. It is a mental state similar to that of last year.
Juve out of the Scudetto discussion?
“What worries me is not so much the results but the personality he showed after Stuttgart. Something happened there.”
