Juventus did not hide: betting on Sarri was a failure. The ninth consecutive scudetto arrived, but the ex-Neapolitan disappointed in the cups, in the game, and also in relations with the players. In Turin they say that the sacred cows could no longer hold him and then the club, as Paratici said, wanted to opt for a “Juventine solution”.
Andrea Pirlo, He had just returned as a subsidiary coach, knows the environment, the dressing room, is highly respected by everyone and at the media level he will give a lot to talk about. ANDhe dream is to imitate the path of Guardiola and Zidane, but a small detail remains: the Italian has not been a coach for a day of his life. Difficult, then, to imagine his new project with certainty, a bet by Agnelli (as was Conte's), brave and full of unknowns. Sports director Paratici stated that he will seek “the type of game developed by various European teams”, with “quality and a lot of application”. Pirlo himself left some clue in recent weeks. In a live with Cannavaro in full confinement, speaking of schemes, he said that “they depend on the players”, although hee liked very much “the 4-3-3 with everyone ahead and great possession of the ball.” He gave more when he was introduced as a Juve U23 coach on July 31: “My team will have to command the game, the important thing will be to have clear ideas and occupy the spaces well “.
His eleven should already have untouchables. Szczesny, Bonucci, De Ligt and Alex Sandro behind, Bentancur in midfield, Dybala and Cristiano above. Very important signings such as Arthur and Kulusevski arrived from the market, but the board will not stop there. This year it was clear that it's time to renew and rejuvenate the squad and the forward is a priority. Higuaín will leave and the first name to replace him is that of Raúl Jiménez, whom Cristiano would welcome. Mendes is working to make an expensive and complicated transfer possible. The alternative is Milik: the Pole is out of the Naples project and already has an agreement with the Bianconeri. For the midfield, Beyond the dream Isco (a year ago, Pirlo said that Arroyo de la Miel is what Juve is missing to win the Champions League), the most concrete objective is Tonali. To the talent of Brescia is known as the “new Pirlo” (Although their characteristics are different, they are very similar) and the Juventine coach could serve to cancel the advantage of Inter, which has been negotiating for weeks. Over time we will learn more details of the new Bianconera era, but Agnelli has already accomplished the first objective. In less than 24 hours, he transformed the depression caused by the European disaster of Sarri into illusion. It was the first magic of the Master.
