TORINO – When, the next morning, one walks on the shards of the last broken dream, it is an excellent rule to raise the level of analysis and coldness even more so as not to get involved in emotionality, to avoid being conditioned by a thousand drafts and as many always, of course, absolute and indisputable truths. Humor at the highest levels and only one thesis: inside the “Juventus group” the detachment is total and now even the players have “downloaded” Massimiliano Allegri. Obviously the situation is much more nuanced than this draconian thesis even if, of course, the crunches are felt and some discontent filters through. All, obviously, amplified by the hot declarations («If I was the best, then it means we didn’t play well» Szczesny immediately after elimination in Seville) or even pre-match («High pressing would be needed if the coach leaves us» Square who turns, smiling, towards the technician: who knows if a joke or a dig).
A film already seen
Or, even more, by gestures of anger like that of Of Maria after the replacement Sanchez-Pizjuan. Here: but it is the same Di Maria of whom we only remember a hat-trick against Nantes, a club that is risking relegation to Ligue 1 and which in that match was even in 10. Then nothing. Indeed yes: the errors. In short, the Argentine is the emblem of those who have guaranteed neither continuity of performance nor the champion shots that should have brought the team out of trouble in the topical moments. Him, but also Church, Paredes, Vlahovicnot to mention Pogba. But what was striking, in the disappointment of the Andalusian night, was the way in which Juventus gave in from a character point of view without being able to defend Vlahovic’s precious advantage, as if they no longer had the moral reserves to succeed. A film already seen at San Siro in the second leg of the match Italian Cupwhen the team opposed Inter with an alienating laxity, as if they no longer believed in the technical project proposed by the coach nor, let’s not forget it, in the opportunity to commit themselves again in a season now compromised by external factors.
