Ninety minutes on the bench and how to feel them
On Tuesday of the Champions League, where they arrived the victories of Inter and Napoli, the spotlight has also turned on another great former protagonist of our Serie A championship, but who has now emigrated abroad. The reference to is all too clear Leonardo Bonucci. The former Juventus defender in fact remained on the bench for the entire match, just as happened against Stuttgart in the Bundesliga. A decision certainly not well digested and accepted by the player, who had been the protagonist at the beginning of the season.
Bonucci already at loggerheads with Union Berlin?
According to what was told by Sky Sport, the center would ask a confrontation with the Teutonic coach Fischer. In short, a need for clarification and a desire to know if it is still considered at the center of the project. Leo would like to understand if there is still that trust and if he is working as the coach would like. It is no coincidence that images of him busy during training sessions have appeared on his social profiles. But in reality there can be many other food for thought.
Bonucci last bastion to raise the white flag?
Bonucci, in all these years of his career, has always caused a lot of discussion, splitting public opinion and being one of those random characters that you either hate or love. The fact is that on the pitch, apart from a few small mistakes and errors, he has always had his say and has always asserted himself. We certainly cannot forget how he was one of the great protagonists of the European Championship won in 2021. However, time passes for everyone and inevitably for him too. What happened in the summer with Juventus, when he was kindly, or perhaps not even too kindly, shown the door, for many it was like the end of an era.

With Buffon’s retirement, a Chiellini went to America, Leonardo became almost the last bastion not wanting to raise white. A bastion of an era that is gradually fading and becoming bygone. Of course, the player thinks he can and still wants to give something to deserve to stay in the football that matters to him. It is not known what will happen in the next few weeks. But, as we know, we Italians in Germany, in the end, (almost) always manage to win.
