Andrea Pirlo has seen his team take the field only twice, he has not been able to play friendly games like others starting a week later, he has not been able to play against opponents who have pulled the ASL prohibitions out of the hat and ultimately will not be able to having the players returning from the national teams practically until the end. In short, Pirlo is in a paradoxical situation in which he will have to prepare the team against Crotone with an emergency situation due to the madness of the national teams who in a hyper-compressed calendar have decided to put in the middle also some friendlies in addition to the two Nations League matches with the consequence that Juventus will go to Crotone with tired players.
Match, that of Crotone, not simple, against a formation that will play the game of life and that could only be prepared for this match, a formation, the Calabrian one, which moreover has already played more games than Juventus and is certainly more amalgamated than at Andrea Pirlo’s construction site.
In short, in the Juve house there are not fully peaceful days, on the one hand the decision that does not arrive linked to the challenge with Napoli and a probable inclusion of the match on a date that will be unwelcome given the busy schedule and on the other the commitments of the national teams that included in this crazy calendar, not only tire the players, but on the other side also put them at risk of covid contagion and injuries.
It all seems crazy to us, given that some teams have not sent anyone to the national team and have been able to train easily. Small details that in such a dense and strange season, in the end, could also make a difference.
We wonder why those who plan the season do not realize the possible damage of such situations, when sometimes it is enough to place certain appointments at the beginning or at the end of the season, without going to weigh on the companies that pay millions to the players.
