Among the many ex-Juventus and Roma players, one stands out for having chosen to leave Turin perhaps too soon. The protagonist himself says it, Lionello Manfredonia, ahead of the Olimpico match on Sunday evening, to the microphones of RBN Cafe this morning. “I only did two years, I could have done a few more. In that period, however, the President wanted year-by-year renewals for the players who were in their 30s and I received the offer from Roma with a two-year plus two proposed by President Viola, so I took the opportunity to return home. But I think about it again and eventually it was a healthy disappointment. The scudetto of ’86? It was my first championship and I thought I would celebrate it two months in a row. In Turin, however, it was a normal thing and I only took home an evening at the disco. The following year as a midfielder I had a great championship with Marchesi with whom I still have an excellent relationship today, it was an important year and I thought about staying, but Boniperti wasn’t of the same idea.“.
A bit like what is happening to Rabiot, what do you think of him? “I played in multiple positions, I also played central defender. Rabiot is strong, he is a French international, but Juve needs a Modric more than a Rabiot”.
