Carnevali 🗣️: “I have good collaborators. I only brought in Massara and with Ottolini we’re working well together. We are inserting the scouting area, which has been missing. The commitment is total, we need a planned and total project. We have improve the youth structure and invest in making Juventus more Italian”
De Bruyne has already noticed one of the biggest problems in Italian football 🇮🇹
Speaking about Vergara to CorSport:
💬 “You need to give youngsters a chance. When I arrived, I thought Vergara was 18… but he’s 23.
In Belgium or England, at 18 you’re already a starter. In Italy there’s a different philosophy.
He just needs to grow consistently and play, play, play. He’s doing really well and will help us a lot.”
He’s been in Italy for one year and already gets it.
@khaledalnouss1 Building a team around a coach who’s known to be a serial loser isn’t the smartest strategy. This short term squad planning is exactly how not to build a winner and why Juve we are and got into this position in the first place.
@XtraAzzurri@BBetuzuf@Azzurri@FIGC@BBetuzuf that would be ideal, but I’m worried that with all this Maldini is going to look at this and say if I’m going be fought this hard on a CT choice whats its going to be like when I try to implement real changes and reforms.
@XtraAzzurri@Azzurri@FIGC I’m genuinely worried now that Maldini and Leonardo are going to leave because of all this. What do you think is going to happen?
🚨 5 biggest takeaways from Maldini & Leonardo’s first Italy press conference 🇮🇹
• They’ll wait for the right coach instead of rushing an appointment.
• “Italian football has been left behind. The game is now about speed, 1v1s, dribbling and technical freedom.”
• They want every Italy youth team and the senior side to follow one shared footballing vision.
• Confirmed they contacted both Ancelotti and Guardiola.
• Serie A are showing their support to helping the National Team.
Mancini brought me the most joy & hope as Italy coach in recent years
✅ played youngsters
✅ played positive football
✅ longest unbeaten streak in international football
I understand the concerns with bringing back a former coach (I have some too)
But who else did you want?
Italy have reached 4 finals in the last 7 EURO U-17 tournaments, more than any other nation.
There is so much raw talent in Italy that simply needs to be trusted.
Giving more opportunities to young players is the key to a brighter future for Italian football. 🇮🇹
@gianlulamarca I agree and that’s the problem with Juventini e Italiani in general we have no patience to build a long term project. I would rather suffer a couple years of if I know we are building for long term success.
@gianlulamarca Very true and I don’t want Conte I don’t think he fits what we need, but I would rather us start a 3-5 year project with a young ambitious coach and if we struggle year 1 and even 2 at least we know where we are going.
@gianlulamarca Honestly I would bring in someone like a Palladino or Italiano if we had a competent management and give them the time to build a long term project. Unfortunately though until Elkann and co are gone nothing will change.
@gianlulamarca Trust me I want Spalletti to succeed but with how stubborn he can be and how poor our management is and the lack of a true project than your throw in all the reports of the infighting I could see us pulling a Milan next season.
@gianlulamarca But Spalletti is also more part of the problem than a solution. If Juve we were still a serious club heads would be rolling after missing out on top 4. Instead we just keep the band back together all in the name of continuity.
