In January, Venezia wants to include players capable of raising the level of experience within the group led by Mr. Di Francesco. In a squad that will need several reinforcements, the priorities are a centre-forward and a central defender and, for the latter role, a search is to be made for Juan Jesus, a Brazilian centre-back whose contract with Napoli is expiring.
The former Inter and Roma player is no longer central to the Neapolitan project, he will leave at the end of the season, but at the moment with the injury to Alessandro Buongiorno he cannot be sold. Only the arrival of a couple of defenders could change this scenario.
Recently Cristian Molinaro, technical director of Venezia, expressed himself as follows on the moment of the lagoon team: “Venezia is a growing team, the group has come together in difficulties and with the coach they are making an important technical journey. Yesterday's victory was important, but it is also true that this championship is full of very subtle balances. We are at I'm already working today, we need to stay focused on the goal. The coach has a way of playing that allows us to put our opponents in difficulty, Venezia is a team that offers football and is understanding that there are matches that they must be managed and that there are moments in a race who are dirtier”.
And on the market: “We are working with general manager Filippo Antonelli. Zerbin? We are really focused on the next matches, we can't afford to think too far ahead.”
