There is no news. The only one is that relating to the calendar which once again seems to be a “provocation” for Juve.
Juventus “stops” on the market. Because there are no resources. And because the economic commitment constituted by Ronaldo’s contract is blocking many investment opportunities. Juventus is trying to take Locatelli: in installments, in a similar way to those that brought Chiesa to Turin. Sassuolo, however, does not compromise: they want 40 million. Should the deal fail, it would not be a setback: just an impossibility. Juve would have done what they did not do in the past: the step commensurate with the leg. Everything goes down, the covid should have brought reasonableness. The companies, more or less, are struggling with dancers’ budgets. But the price of the players remains high. Like their salaries. Like the commissions of the prosecutors. I don’t make it a question of hypocritical populism. I make it a matter of common sense. The world is convinced (including that of football) that everything will be as it was before. Once the emergency is over, it will return to “giant” as before the covid. But is not so.
Juve is stopped. It does not buy because liquidity is relative. And it does not sell because it has given its members such exaggerated contracts as to scare any suitor. And it is stopped because some renovations (Dybala) will drain the safe. A current of thought is that which would see Elkann so furious at the management of the last few seasons that he has turned off the taps. I do not know. Max Allegri will have to perform some magic. And probably his primary objective will be to make Juventus go back to being itself (helped by the Juventus winners at the European Championship). The secondary will be to make Cr7 understand that only by putting himself at the service of the team, Juventus Ronaldocentrica will be able to emerge from the shallows of an involution that – Allegri knows – had already begun in his last season. Arthur’s injury has, in my opinion, helped Allegri. Now he will be able to give a chance to Fagioli, who – to date – is the only “thinker” in the workforce. Target? The Scudetto. And a less bumpy path than the recent past in the Champions League. Juve is not an open construction site. It is a team that must rediscover with ambition, even the awareness of its limits. Anyone who predicts a Juventus title is exaggerating. Although it could happen: conditional. Among other things, Juve had an infamous schedule as a dowry. And since it’s not even the first time, every thought is legitimate. They must finish feeding us the randomness of the algorithm that “bad luck, bad luck” makes you close away in Florence. The algorithm does not wear t-shirts. But men wear them. And how they wear them.
