Speaking in La Gazzetta dello Sport Fabio Capello said, “Players like Chiesa, Szczesny, Danilo were sent away… They had done great things for Juventus. It was thought to make a revolution right away. Instead, coming to a new team, in my opinion you had to evaluate what was in the house first. Because those players know the value of wearing a heavy jersey like Juve’s. You have to win there. The new ones who came in have not yet shown that value, and then they were put in a completely new system of play. They faced difficulties, and in these the coach continued on his way, convinced that he would come out on top. You play a very good first half in Naples, in which the team seems to have assimilated the concepts you preach, but then at the first useful opportunity you don’t play that same team again, rather you change six players and put them in positions other than their own, where they don’t perform. I’m thinking of Weah at fullback, McKennie on the left, Yildiz behind the point… The coach still hasn’t managed to get the team to play the way he wants.”
Juve, le parole di Capello
“So I’m wondering, did you see a glimmer of light in the first half in Naples and you turn everything around again? These were revisable choices. When we thought he had found some fixed points he changed players again. You have to understand the team and make them play according to who you have. There is no one form, but he seems to interpret soccer in only one way. If we just think about the defeat to Benfica: You have a very important game like this and you make a revolution? I as a coach cannot understand that. I ask myself a question: is it all Motta’s fault? Also because a new coach coming to a club like Juventus always has a short time and in that short time he has to win. And it is not as if last summer’s market was cheap; a lot of money was spent. Vlahovic is a player who is not suited for the kind of game Motta wants to play. He wants someone who participates in the maneuver, Vlahovic is a penalty area man but Juve puts few balls there. It’s a technical choice but since we don’t have strikers I think an area man like the Serbian can always fit in the formation. When it comes to Juventus, Milan, Inter is like that, there is no patience. They don’t want to participate, they want to win,” he concluded. Meanwhile, there is a sensational market rumor: is he going to Inter from Juventus? <<<
