Speaking on Sportitalia, former Juve president Cobolli Gigli spoke about the Champions race: “Confident yes, with the soul of a fan. As an ordinary person, however, I realize the obstacles to overcome in these last two challenges, which are not easy. Udinese will want redemption, Venezia, should they, as I think, still be in it until the last to save themselves, will defend themselves tooth and nail. There needs to be an awareness that it takes great determination and, seeing the goals coming in the salvation, great care. But for me Tudor is doing his best to give an effective game, but the players are not performing at their best. Leaving aside Giuntoli’s mistakes. Chiellini? I have deep respect for him, as a man and for what he has been as a footballer. If he had a more responsible role I would be happy.”
Juve, le parole di Cobolli Gigli
Igor Tudor, allenatore della Juventus
On Tudor: “My understanding is that he has a chance to stay in case of fourth place. Then it would take figuring out what to do, but before making any rash decisions, I would give him a chance to play in the Club World Cup. Maybe taken away the nightmare of having to finish fourth, the game and quality could benefit. I would continue with Tudor before making experiments that might not even yield the desired results. Conte? He has shown once again what he is worth, not that there was any need. I am quite against comebacks. I always liked Allegri for example, but it would be wrong to bring him back as well. Conte could do good things, but he would want a team structured in a certain way. I see that he says he is sorry for not having enough quality in Napoli, I don’t know if Juventus has the luxury of making Conte the team he would like.” Final comment on Osimhen: “There is always the question of salary to be resolved in Vlahovic. Making him leave to get Osimhen would not solve the economic problem. The sense of belonging then is created by focusing on players who are perhaps younger, but who would put their souls into making the team play well.” In the meantime comes a chilling new announcement: Conte in bianconero <<<
