From Benatia to today’s crisis: Juve goes to the pitch…
The choice of Cheer up recall the one made with Mehdi Benatia in 2018. After an argument during a match against Atalanta, the coach had in fact spoken about the defender like this: “Are there similarities between horses and players? Many, in fact I sent Benatia to the meadow. Because horses, after they win for a while, are sent to the meadow to rest. There are some similarities.” In that case, only six months after these declarations, Benatia had left the Juventus not without controversy. We’ll see if Allegri’s choice now serves to better prepare for the match against De Rossi’s Roma. The answer is awaited on the field.
An old speech by Conte goes viral again
A move that appears in clear antithesis with the ex’s philosophy Antonio Conte, “recovered” by social media on an old speech made to the team during the years at Juventus, in particular at the end of the first half of a championship match that the Bianconeri were winning by a narrow margin. “Yes, I was angry at the end of the first half because I saw a little too much euphoria and so I made it clear that I wasn’t happy with the fact that we were only 1-0. – Conte himself said in an interview – There I made them understand the importance that if there is an opportunity to kill your opponent, in a sporting sense, you have to kill him otherwise when he gets up he is so angry that it can then hurt”. Scene described perfectly by also Claudio Marchisio: “He called us one by name, asking us more. Buffon, more! Lichtsteiner, more! All eleven. It didn’t seem real to us that he was scolding us because we were winning”. He never unplugged, not even between one half of the game and another.
