Massimo Orlando spoke to Tmw Radio during the Maracanà broadcast
Condò says Spalletti as coach is to be questioned:
“Spalletti was bad from start to finish, with the press, with his way of communicating, he changed the team a lot and created confusion. Then it’s also the players’ fault, but I didn’t like how he managed the games. Great coach, obviously being a coach is another job. For me he’s more of a day-to-day worker than a coach”.
Players detached from the coach: did you have this feeling?
“No, but they didn’t give the impression of a cohesive group, of that magic that is needed to move forward in a tournament like this. There was no team pressure, nothing that gave the impression that the group was following the coach.”
Juventus, the first shots are coming. Is this the right choice for the championship?
“After the last few seasons, convincing the fans is not easy. The club needs to work, they are strengthening the weakest part, that is, the midfield. Rabiot could be even better than Douglas Luiz but it seems that he is the one who does not want to stay. For me they are doing a good job, they are also trying to take Calafiori but Bologna is increasing the price and I think Juve will struggle to shell out 50 million. With the players they already have in the squad and with what they will do for me, Juve will certainly be a protagonist. If they get very close to Inter, the pitch will tell”.
Naples, what will Kvaratskhelia do now?
“After a fantastic first year, the president cannot leave for such figures. You took advantage of a good guy, now Conte has everything to keep him but if on the other side they offer you 8 million it is difficult to keep him. What would I do? I lived in a different era, I would never have left a place where they love me but times have changed. If on one side they give you almost 10 million it is difficult to say no”.
Milan, Rabiot is liked. What do you think?
“He can be useful to a midfield that attacks more than defends. The Rossoneri managers have gone strong on him, this makes it clear that they are looking for a player with these characteristics.”
And Fofana also likes it:
“He’s a very good player. France manages to produce these athletes who are physically strong and good in both phases. Fonseca knows him well and they tell me he wants him badly. Of course he, Rabiot, but then who plays in the middle there? Because you’d have a lot of that guy.”
