Juventus is going through a complicated period and the patience of its leaders is starting to reach its limits. After another defeat against Genoa, the third in nine Serie A days, the Turin club decided to react firmly. According to La Gazzetta Dello SportGiovanni Carnevali, CEO and general director of the Old Lady, presented himself at the Continassa training center to reframe the players and demand explanations. “ We cannot continue like this, the situation is unacceptable, but we cannot question the technical staff », he would have said in front of the group and Luciano Spalletti. Despite the poor results, the Italian coach therefore retains the confidence of his management. At his request, the entire squad will be placed on training from Friday at the training center, in order to prepare in the best conditions for the clash against Naples, scheduled for Sunday evening at the Allianz Stadium.
Beyond the results, it is above all the attitude of the players which worries the Turin leaders. Against Genoa, the Bianconeri were overwhelmed in the engagement and unable to react after the first difficulties encountered. Luciano Spalletti himself admitted that he had failed to convey certain requirements to his group, notably the importance of duels, recovery and defensive concentration. Giovanni Carnevali now expects an immediate reaction from Bremer and his teammates, both in behavior and on the pitch. While some supporters are already calling for the return of Antonio Conte to the bench, management does not wish to change coach for the moment. But with the reception of Naples this Sunday, Spalletti and his players find themselves facing a crucial meeting to prevent the crisis from worsening further.
