When I repeat that being a coach is the most difficult job in the world, but that the emoluments that some perceive are beyond any logic, I do not say anything new. If Di Stefano was the only footballer who ate at the managers’ table before the game, who was in charge of Real Madrid pentacampeon? Maybe Carniglia or Munoz? If Messi wants Lautaro Martinez, what does Barça do? Treat the Argentine. If Sarri found it hard at the beginning of the adventure in Naples, what did he do? He asked the internal commission for help and, with Reina and Higuain on his side, the environment calmed down and the results arrived.
At Juventus, after the defeat in the Italian Cup, the coach repeated himself and, with the support of Buffon, Bonucci and Chiellini, the train returned to the tracks, as seen in Bologna. Mind you, the three intervened even if they did not share what Sarri had done in recent months. First they talked to each other, then they decided, in agreement with the coach, to confront the rest of the team. Confirmation of the old guard’s prompt intervention comes from convincing performance and victory at Dall’Ara. Sarri appreciated the position taken by the senators and supported the company’s choice to renew the goalkeeper’s contract for another year, who reciprocated by speaking with Cristiano Ronaldo, who, in refusing to play with the number 9, made in front of everyone , had not simplified the relationship with Sarri.
Regardless of how the championship and Champions League will end, the coach is worth 6 million net and passes? However, I’m sure that in other teams there is turmoil between players and coach for certain choices. It is useless to hear him repeat: “My parents don’t have to fear the opponents and play the attack”, but if you line up Orsolini, Soriano, Samson and Barrow against the Old Lady, don’t you give her a gift? And, knowing the players, how many share Mihajlovic’s ideas? So as if you go to Bergamo and present Berardi, Defrel, Boga and Caputo, what does De Zerbi hope to do? If Sassuolo returns with 4 goals to passive, do you think everyone is silent? And when Liverani, at the beginning of the tournament, said that Lecce would be saved by playing openly against every opponent, was he not immediately brought to more mild advice? All right, maximum respect for those in front of you, but you must devise every trick to put him in difficulty. And remember, as Sun Tzu Wu says in The Art of War: “If you know the enemy and yourself, you will never be in danger. When you do not know the enemy but know yourself, the chances of victory and defeat are the same. If you don’t know the enemy or yourself, you will be in danger in every battle. “
