Maurizio Sarri’s words to Sportitalia lead to discussion. The former coach, as we expected, did not send them to say, in practice by making it clear that at Juventus he found himself, not bad, but it would seem very bad.
He won, but he was not convinced, or rather he was not convinced that the environment could be right for him.
One thing, perhaps he framed in the right way, that winning the Champions League is complicated: “Juventus have considerable economic strength, but this story that must necessarily win the Champions League is false. They are a great club, they have always made excellent teams. , he can also win the Champions League but in terms of turnover he is tenth in Europe. There are nine teams that, in quotation marks because turnover does not give you success, could potentially have more chances than Juventus to win. “
Some phrases made people discuss, especially one that let us understand how it was not easy for Sarri, if not impossible, to find harmony with the environment: “On the evening of Juve-Lyon, aware that it would be my only year at Juve? October I had a meeting with the staff, I told them to choose. My question was: do we go straight on our way and go home in 20-30 days or make compromises and win the championship knowing we would go home same? We tried to win the Scudetto anyway. “
In short, Sarri was a heavy mistake of those who chose him, because not everyone supported him.
Certainly Sarri had understood that he should not have pulled the plug after the title, as he did, but it was also his fault that he did not know how to keep the team on the tightrope, arriving at the match with Lyon in a less than optimal condition: “I didn’t like it. that the team after having practically won the championship had given up a bit. I don’t like these attitudes, because unplugging and reattaching it afterwards is not easy. Champions even if it wasn’t easy because we had played so many games in 50 days. For me, pulling the plug was a mistake. “
It was logical, however, to expect a spirit of revenge from Maurizio Sarri after the post-Scudetto exemption, moreover replaced by a coach who did not do better than him, or rather doing much worse in the league but winning two cups.
A sentence makes it clear how he was not loved: “We won a Scudetto without celebrating it, everyone had dinner on their own. Probably the right year would have been this, after a fourth place and I saw that they celebrated, probably the conditions are ideal “.
Perhaps there were, perhaps, no, surely Sarri in Turin was not loved, perhaps he was not understood, the Scudetto was won, but no one saw a good game and spectacle, perhaps that is of no interest to anyone but if he had had a more constructive attitude, certainly would not have been dismissed. The faults, therefore, even a little of his, in addition to those of a company that he chose too quickly, perhaps for a love that would never blossom.
