Former Milan supervisor Arrigo Sacchi factors the finger at Juventus gamers when attempting to clarify the membership’s underwhelming marketing campaign underneath Thiago Motta.
The Bianconeri are fourth in Serie A, however a win over Hellas Verona may revive their Scudetto hopes regardless of drawing 13 occasions in 26 league outings.
However other than their Serie A woes, Juve suffered back-to-back eliminations from cup competitions in surprising trend. Solely every week after crashing out of the Champions League by the hands of PSV Eindhoven, they crashed out of the Coppa Italia following an embarrassing defeat at residence towards Empoli who prevailed within the penalty shootouts.
Due to this fact, Motta’s place is not as safe because it was not so way back. Many sources imagine the supervisor should end within the Prime 4 and revel in an honest Membership World Cup marketing campaign if he needs to keep away from the sack on the finish of the season.
However, Sacchi continues to defend the 42-year-old, as an alternative blaming the gamers’ angle for the membership’s shortcomings.
The legendary Italian tactician suggests some gamers are likely to develop into a bit complacent after securing a switch to Juventus, dropping the starvation and willpower that earned the large transfer within the first place.
“Thiago Motta is a tough employee, however it appears to me that he ended up in an setting the place the gamers imagine they’ve already reached their end line,” he advised La Gazzetta dello Sport (by way of JuventusNews24).
“I don’t see, of their habits on the pitch, that humility and spirit of sacrifice which are essential to attain success. At Juve, they tried to make a cultural revolution, however they now discover themselves in the midst of the Ford.”
Juventus have determined to carry a retreat following their shambolic show towards Empoli, so it stays to be seen if the group will emerge extra united.
