The day after the failure of Haifa with the fall, perhaps more thunderous than ever, against Maccabi was that of return to Turin and many thoughts which involved the whole team, in all its parts. President Andrea Agnelli dictated the line immediately after the race: not so much confirming the position of Massimiliano Allegri but more extending responsibilities to an entire team that is not working. No shock, no shock: this time there is no room, for now and, again citing the Juventus number one, until the end of the season, for a change of guard on the bench. Meanwhile, the team returned to Turin yesterday, starting the retreat at the Continassa sports center.
The return from Israel and the start of the retreat at Continassa.
Shortly after 16.30, Juventus landed at Caselle airport with a flight from Tel Aviv after spending the night in Israel. From there the immediate shift to Continassa where the team returned. The retreat commanded by Massimiliano Allegri officially kicks off this morning to prepare for the Mole derby scheduled for next Saturday at the Grande Torino Olympic stadium. It is the retirement number two in less than a year, the third called up by the Livorno coach at the helm of Juventus after the one in 2015 (also the last retreat before last season at Juventus). And it is also a meeting in which not everyone is obliged to participate: the injured, including Di Maria (yesterday he left the JTC a few minutes after the arrival), are exempted from participating with the opportunity to leave the office after the sessions are over. Today, in the meantime, Fideo’s instrumental examinations are scheduled to understand the extent of the injury to the right thigh flexor.
Confrontation in Israel before returning: the withdrawal will also serve this purpose.
We will look each other in the face in these two and a half days that the team will spend at the J | Hotel. For try to find a solution to this very complicated period in which light at the end of the tunnel does not seem to be glimpsed. Comparisons on comparisons, a first has already been in Israel in the morning before returning to Turin: President Andrea Agnelli reiterated the importance of feeling responsible, all without exclusions. Tracing how much it is the entire work group that has to find, immediately, a way out. All in question, no one excluded. Because this Juve cannot go on like this.
