Agnelli confirms Paratici, Paratici confirms Pirlo and Ronaldo. But Juve is a disaster and can change everything | First page

After the devastating elimination in the Champions League, no one from the Juventus club has spoken. After the defeat with Benevento, on the other hand, yes. Fabio Paratici went to analyze a season that apart from dialectical acrobatics is proving to be a failure. Even if until a couple of weeks ago Juve was still in the running on all fronts, today they are in fact cut off once and for all from the Scudetto after having had to collect the sensational elimination in the Champions League at the hands of Porto. Of course, the Super Cup. Of course, the Italian Cup final. But at this point Juve must also be very careful not to miss at least qualification for the Champions League. In the meantime, starting to look ahead, to make reflections that can no longer lead to wrong choices. On paper, the key decisions have already been made, but it goes without saying that from now to the end of the season everything can still be upset.

TODAY – The situation today is the one explained by Paratici: there is a project, there is a planning, we go on despite the results. So trust Andrea Pirlo also for next season: even if the same technician in the press conference for the first time revealed a minimum of insecurity (“At the end of the season we will draw conclusions”). So trust Cristiano Ronaldo: even if it is CR7 who has to decide whether to stay or change the air, there has not yet been a confrontation and in Spain not a day goes by without the Real adding fuel to the fire. And in all this trust also to Paratici himself, whose contract is expiring like that of all the men in the sports area he heads: but the manager is actually working for next season, the contacts with prosecutors and professionals are those of those who are firmly at the helm and not who is about to say goodbye after eleven years.

TOMORROW – Today it is like that. But never as in this phase there is no certainty about tomorrow. Max Allegri had also been confirmed (by Andrea Agnelli) publicly a few weeks before receiving the benservito. Even Maurizio Sarri felt safe, a year ago as today there was talk of a project that would not depend on a match (the one with Lyon). To rewind the tape well, Beppe Marotta was also sent away a few months after signing a three-year renewal. And there was always at least one more Scudetto to celebrate. In short, this time words and explanations have arrived. But anything can happen. And especially, all are under scrutiny. All.–
