Former Milan supervisor Arrigo Sacchi factors the finger at Juventus gamers when attempting to clarify the membership’s underwhelming marketing campaign beneath Thiago Motta.
The Bianconeri are fourth in Serie A, however a win over Hellas Verona might revive their Scudetto hopes regardless of drawing 13 instances in 26 league outings.
However except for their Serie A woes, Juve suffered back-to-back eliminations from cup competitions in stunning vogue. Solely per 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 dwelling in opposition to Empoli who prevailed within the penalty shootouts.
Subsequently, 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 turn into a bit complacent after securing a switch to Juventus, dropping the starvation and dedication that earned the massive transfer within the first place.
“Thiago Motta is a tough employee, but it surely 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 (through JuventusNews24).
“I don’t see, of their habits on the pitch, that humility and spirit of sacrifice which can be needed to realize 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 in opposition to Empoli, so it stays to be seen if the group will emerge extra united.
