“France is the favorite team at Euro 2024”. Thoughts and words of David Trezeguetformer striker of Juventus and the French national team, spoke to the microphone of the reporters present on the sidelines of Milan Football Week, including TMW: “His is a journey that began in 2016 when he lost the continental final against Portugal. Then he won in Russia in 2018. They had a decline, but in 2022 they made the World Cup final in Qatar, losing. Furthermore, they have a great coach and their players are winners. They play in the best European clubs and have great technical quality.”
Spalletti’s Italy? “We saw a very motivated team, with a coach who has the right, important mentality, and who in any case managed to win against Napoli which is not an easy place, especially for coaches. Spalletti arrived in the national team with his idea and now he has the chance to prove it. However, Italy cannot hide behind its history, its fans will have to be the protagonists and many expect a lot from Italy.”
Thiago Motta to Juventus? “He knows very well what it takes to win. What Bologna did is thanks to him. With a different game and ideas. We will have to see if it will be possible to apply this to Juve. I am in favor of changes. He won’t have much time, with the European Championships, the Copa America and various tournaments that are being played, the time will be very limited until the first championship match. But something needed to change: everything must happen gradually, he knows very well that Juve must win and that they expect a lot from him. I believe that, beyond being a coach, he is a very intelligent and also clever man.”
On Rabiot. “He will decide the future together with his support group, as he has done in the past. I cannot predict his decision, but he has proven to be a valuable player for Juventus.”
A judgment on Vlahovic? “It will be up to the club to decide his future. He was clear: he must improve a lot and commit more to the team. Everyone expects more from him, because he has the qualities to become a great center forward for Juventus. Now it’s up to him to prove it” .
On Conte at Napoli? “It’s an important change. He is looking for new motivation and his mentality can benefit Napoli a lot. Napoli will focus mainly on the national championship, as they will not participate in European competitions. The team will therefore be able to dedicate all its energies to racing for the title of champion of their country”.
