Juventus can no longer do it and the sweeps change nothing. After that of last summer, which earned the post of Damien Comolli, replaced by Giovanni Carnevali, architect of Sassuolo’s success, the fans hoped, under the leadership of Luciano Spalletti who remained in post, a long-term recovery. Alas, the humiliating defeat suffered at home against Lazio Rome on Sunday evening proved that the Old Lady had not regained her second youth.
“Today Juve were inferior to Lazio, without controlling the match or having the slightest idea. It’s difficult to explain: we found nothing of what we showed on Thursday”regretted the Italian technician. “Something will have to change. I too was surprised by the performance: I have to think carefully about how I am going to talk about the team. I want sharing and a good relationship with the players: I will therefore have to analyze the beautiful and sincere relationship that I have with them”he continued, before expressing his doubts: “will the team follow me? Until yesterday, I thought I could answer in the affirmative, but today I doubt it. »
Conte, the return of rumor
From the starting eleven to the lack of character and the lack of inspiration from their coach, Juve is being lit by the Italian press. “Juve is an empty bag. Spalletti, once inventive, is now afraid of his opponents »tackle La Gazzetta dello Sport. “A team in complete disarray, without stars and without a game plan”note Sports Mediaset. Former Turin midfielder Alessio Tacchinardi said: “Juve was embarrassing, Spalletti didn’t improve anything. » And to ask for the providential man, Antonio Conte.
“I don’t know if he would accept, maybe I’ll send him a message… only he can breathe new life into this team”Tacchinardi judged. As with every poor performance, the name of Conte, free of any contract, comes up repeatedly in the Italian press. But the situation seems serious enough for it to appear more credible than ever. Eighth in Serie A, eight points behind the leader, with teams like Frosinone and Cagliari (which has a game in hand) two points ahead of Spalletti’s team, that’s a lot for Juve who wanted to return to the forefront.
