Interviewed for TJ, Stefano Bonacini spoke about the work of Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli. Here are his words, “Things did not go as he wanted, but bad seasons like this can happen. The long list of injuries in the defense certainly had an impact, every Sunday the defensive department was not the same and it is not easy not to have continuity in such a young team. Nico got hurt, Koopmeiners also, this is part of those cursed years when you have to bring home the bacon. You judge him without knowing him on investments and results, but the judgment needs to be expanded a little bit. Something that did not turn around certainly was there, but Cristiano has to be evaluated in the context of a three-year period. Then, at the end of this period, you can get an idea of the kind of work done by him.”

Also, on the purchase of Teun Koopmeiners, the former Carpi president said, “It’s not like Cristiano bought a semi-unknown at that money, we had all seen the player who was in Bergamo. If Koopmeiners should still hurt, then there it would be clear to talk about a mistake. But a half alibi I want to give him, since he came at the end of a thorny negotiation and without proper preparation. With Gasperini he had a somewhat more defined role, with Motta there was confusion at the tactical level. He probably suffered from that as well.” Read also the latest rumors about Giuntoli’s latest soccer market idea <<<
