@RidTheRock Koop was not adding the characteristics that were used to with Thuram. We missed his runs up the field getting close to the box, where he attracts defenders, then he chooses to shoot at goal or pass the ball. Locatelli and Thuram better partners in the middle. Koop should b sold

@emaxstatman He jumped ship when Juve was going through a tough period with the scandal. He showed no loyalty which is why he was welcomed back with a cold shoulder and had to earn back that respect.
Michel #Platini 🔈 to @guido_vaciago Full interview below:
“Would you like to return to Turin? Always, it’s home for me. I still have friends here and should come back more often”
“Has football improved or worsen over the last 20 years? It’s complicated for me. For me it’s an event in the stadium and from that stand point it’s improved but all the players are a bit the same. They’re all stereotyped and the coaches now are important in the team because the players don’t dare to dribble or invent things. They’re held back by their coaches. It’s not the football of the players but the football of the coaches today. I think it needs to go back to the players, it’s more fun”
“When I arrived at Juventus everyone knew what they had to do. Tardelli, Cabrini, Bonini, maybe myself and Boniek pushed into attack more, with the support of Battega and Rossi. We broke the clubs tradition in that period, we were more French then”
“The new Champions league? It’s stupid. I don’t like it. There are more games but only to raise more money, without any logic. I think it’s born due to the pressure of the Super League. And in the end they’ll make the super league anyways”
“Ceferin and Infantino? They are nothing and they come from nothing. They are characters only interested in football due to power. The leaders of football should be the players. The Del Piero’s, the Baggios, the Mbappe’s, the Klopps and Guardiola’s of the world”
“The problem isn’t the amount of games, it’s that they’re all on tv and the players are judged every game. In my day it was less stressful”
“Andrea #Agnelli ? I haven’t heard from him but I know how it feels. It’s personal. I wish him the best”
“Fans accuse #Elkann of lacking passion? They’re wrong. Maybe he’s not as passionate as his grandfather, the lawyer or Umberto was but he cares. It’s clear from the 100 year celebration he takes this commitment to his family serious. He has a huge responsibility in managing companies. He cares about Juve and is close to the club”
“The lawyer? I think about him everytime I’m in Turin and the wonderful time I’ve lived here. He was an extraordinary character and I’m proud to have known him. Unfortunately those times are long gone. He always teased everyone and I liked answering him. I think he appreciated that”
“One day I was at his house to talk about something I can’t remember and he decided to accompany me to training. I get into his car and he starts speeding fast trying to outrun his escorts I’m telling him to slow down and jokingly he is saying he doesn’t understand”
“President of Juve? They’ve never asked me and I don’t think now that they will. Now is a period of financial recovery before thinking about the sporting part. Now is not the time to dream on the pitch but that time will return”
“#Scirea? He was wise. He and Zoff were superior of wisdom. Then there were crazy people like me and Tardelli. Scores balanced us out. A wonderful man. I have a large photograph at home of him as a dedication”
🔥 | 🗣️ Gian Piero Gasperini: "How do you close the gap in the standings with Inter to compete for the Scudetto? One way is to go a billion into debt and throw money around to players left and right..." #Atalanta
Il procuratore federale del calcio italiano spiega ai senatori della Repubblica come la FIGC opera sleali penalizzazioni nei confronti della Juve travestendole beffardamente da atti di lealtà sportiva.
L’audizione in Senato del Procuratore Federale Chinè rappresenta davvero qualcosa di inquietante. Ci aveva raccontato, tempo fa, che la giustizia sportiva doveva andare di corsa anche rischiando errori. Anche prima di un ipotetico rinvio a giudizio. Oggi questo signore ci racconta altro facendo capire che tutto dipende dalle Procure (che prima devono chiudere le indagini, e poi in caso collaborare) certificando così differenze di trattamento inaccettabili. Questo il signore della pena afflittiva. @andreaabodi è @fondazionejb servirà un intervento.
“Winning was the most important principle. If you drew it was very disappointing but if you lost, my god, it was like a stab in the heart” #DelPiero
