The former Viali is preparing to return to Del Duca with a bad tooth after the difficult start to the season experienced at the helm of Ascoli and that dismissal then decided by the sporting director Giannitti together with the owner Pulcinelli and the manager De Santis. The Juventus hopes of survival, after the comforting exploit of Terni, will now also and above all pass through the very delicate duel on Wednesday (start at 3pm) against Cosenza. Another appointment in which Carrera’s team will only have to bring home the victory. The rossoblù will present themselves under the hundred strong towers of the resounding 4-1 defeat against Bari. A result which also indirectly helped Picchio to get back into the playout zone.
“Let’s just think about Ascoli – the Wolves coach commented –. There we will find an environment that pushes, a team that I know but which then also changed in January. They obtained an important result in Terni. There will be even more enthusiasm and therefore the difficulty will be double.” There will be other recent acquaintances in the rossoblù jersey. Standing out above all are the left back D’Orazio and the striker Forte, a striker still owned by the Corso Vittorio club who then ended up with the Calabrians on loan. The latter has ended up in the eye of the storm in recent weeks with the new betting case that would have seen him involved with other former Benevento players. The Juventus rearguard will have to pay particular attention to the decisive Tutino who, however, came out of the match against Bari battered.
Before his return to Cosenza, the Milanese coach had been contacted by Pulcinelli, a few days before the defeat against Sampdoria (2-1), to understand if there could be the conditions for his possible return. A proposal then declined by the coach due to the presence in the club of people he didn’t like. Now there’s really nothing missing from the finish line. “Having a +5 on the playouts is important – he said – but I would wait until the end of the week to judge. We have two more important matches. To reach safety we need a great match in Ascoli and followed by another important test against Spezia”.
