No partial balance sheet, let’s follow what Motta repeats in the conference, so let’s put it this way, today’s match against Fiorentina is a maturity exam that the team, forgive me for being blunt, cannot fail. No, because especially at home, Juve has played for all the bonuses: Parma, Cagliari, Venezia are matches and points that still cry out for revenge and which risk weighing like boulders on the economy of the season. There’s no point in going around it. These races make the difference with those leading the rankings today. Furthermore, it is quite impressive how the other big teams got rid of the smaller teams without any problem, while Motta’s men, I would also add the terrible performance in Lecce, struggled.
This is why the final exam is not a mistake. The growth process is fine, the revolution is fine, everything is fine, but we cannot imagine a team in difficulty even today and especially without the three points. On this we are perfectly in line with the statements of the Juventus coach, no look at the future, but concentration only on the present. And the present means winning the direct clash, catching the Tuscans right in the Champions League zone and putting very important points in the safe.
We are behind, no one expected the moon, but a few positions higher yes, no one is demanding the scudetto, but qualification for the next Champions League is vital to continue the three-year process. These are issues that will intertwine and intertwine with the market. Apparently Danilo seems to be saying goodbye, despite the captain’s intentions to “not abandon the boat halfway through” but the Giuntoli Motta couple seems to have different ideas. Let’s be honest, the Brazilian is in a declining phase of his career and has made us angry more than once in this first part of the season, but he represents a bulwark of Juventus, represents one of the few men with experience and is a cornerstone of the locker room. Be careful, the salary ceiling needs to be lowered, and we understand every move, but what we ask of Giuntoli is simply one thing: the transfer is good, but given the emergency in defense that at least the first reinforcement be ready immediately. Simply put, one goes out, one comes in and not ten days later, but at least the next day.
We know we say trivial things, but we know equally well how the market works, especially when there is a need to bring home a player: in short, we wouldn’t want to see other stories like the Koopmainers summer one.
Confidence in the club is full and the balance sheets will be drawn at the end of the championships, but we hope that the summer experiences, with the transfer market finishing in the last days of August, have taught us something. But now it’s time to take to the field and pass the final exam. No matter what, just take home the three points. For everything else we can wait.
