Juventus, those phrases of Thiago Motta and the answer in fact: what can change from now on

Cristiano Corbo, sent to Turin 10 minutes ago

And now what do you do? The question we ask ourselves as the sun comes out on Turin again is exactly this: how will Juventus leave, after such a blow? Of course, it has already been done in the past, but never before this team it seemed fragile, at the mercy of events and therefore fearful of a potential recourse. Everything to avoid. Ball in Thiago Motta, as he loved as a footballer, as he is loving a little less in these months at Juventus: everything has ended up on his side of the field. Management, choices, responsibilities. Everything happened to Continassa seems to bring her signature to the bottom, a method all in all similar to what happened last year with Allegri. Every wire of grass – it was said – was moved according to his will. And then? We all know how it ended. THE MANAGEMENT – Certainly, the company will support all the decisions that Motta will make from here to the next few days, perhaps including the thorny ones that will concern the players. There is a phrase, called at the conference, that can play as strong as the morning alarm clock: “You must deserve every day to stay in here and not to demand things without giving, today we cannot expect anything, we have not given anything”, said the coach, naturally generalizing the speech, but without hitting less heavily compared to the initial will. Here: who did he have it with? The managers – The first thought is obviously addressed to Dusan Vlahovic. Considering the tenor of the message, and above all the test provided by the Serbian, we have multiple clues available for a more robust test. Others thought of Koopmeiners, certainly not happy when Motta decided to save him a few games. In reality, Motta’s speech is really general: “I can’t save anyone,” he explained at the conference. Maybe, here, one or two. The entry of Locatelli and Yildiz (beyond the wrong penalty) was good. What about Thuram’s match? In fact, two who did not play from the first minute, and the footballer who has the most questionable management of all. What changes – Thiago never questioned his creed. Indeed, he reiterated it several times: according to his idea, because he is convinced that his idea is a winner. When he talked about attitude, he added a detail perhaps underestimated: “None of mine had made a mistake”. His Juve worse than his Bologna, his spice, perhaps even of his Genoa and despite the rather limited period. So we find ourselves in front of a unique situation of its kind, to which Motta could respond with an equally unique move. Module change? No, but men yes. If behind it cannot touch anything, in the middle Locatelli and Thuram return a necessary couple. On the outsiders Nico can stay out and Yildiz find space, perhaps still with MBANGULA or CONCEICAO. We will hardly see Vlahovic again. As well as Koopmeiners. It was the great flops of the evening and seasonal: now Thiago has dissolved the bridle, has a direction and wants to reach it. At the cost of doing it with only the loyalists.
