THE GREEN LANTERN – CR7 MANDATORY, LOCATELLI NECESSARY AND SARRI INOPPORTUNITY

In a very short time we will return to focus on household chores. While the Premier League has made it known that, in August, the stadiums will be 100% full of fans, in Italy we wonder about every question, even the most insignificant, forgetting that life is above all action but not only in front of a keyboard. Better not to go any further, I prefer to focus on the Juventus to come …
Honestly, Max Allegri’s second creature is a great mystery… At the moment, there are more doubts than certainties. By now it seems clear that Cristiano Ronaldo, barring unforeseen circumstances, will remain in Turin. As a football fan, I’m thrilled to be able to see him again in Juventus (maybe for two years), as a supporter of the Old Lady I’m actually worried. The question is always the same: will Allegri be able to convince CR7 to be less than CR7? Impossible to hypothesize a sensible answer … Let’s say that they will have to find a way to live together and, usually, it is not the best to restart a relationship … Impossible to think that Cristiano Ronaldo can continue to play in the way and at the times he prefers. It needs its evolution but, in order for it to happen, he must be the first to believe it. Will he be willing to stay on the bench for a few more games? To be replaced when he is not on the day and, why not, to play as a true central striker? Who knows …
There is a desire, in the whole Juventus environment, for new faces. Many hope that Pogba will show up in Turin. No, guys, it’s not feasible … Too many favorable conditions must be met to see the Octopus in black and white again. True, everything is possible in the market but not in the post-pandemic market. And Locatelli? Necessary … One like him would be handy. He wants to shine in a big one (after being discarded by Milan), he is Italian and, with Allegri’s care, he could become even more fabulous in the middle of the field. There is a problem: it costs a lot and Juventus are not the only top team to want it. Fortunately, the will of the blue midfielder seems to be to dress in black and white. Fingers crossed…
There was also a lot of talk about Sarri. Clearly these were inappropriate statements but, honestly, they were also quite predictable. There has never been a great feeling between Juventus and Sarri. It is normal that there are disagreements. He may not have celebrated the Scudetto as he hoped but, thanks to Juventus, he still won the highest Italian trophy, assumed or not … Surely there will be fun at the next match, at the Stadium, with Juventus and Lazio on the pitch (hoping that there will be even the Juventus fans at the stadium). Someone will surely point out to Sarri that it was a little too inappropriate. It will be funny…
However, it is better to always remember that Sarri is the past (even rather short) while the present and the future is called Allegri. It is useless to waste time with the past when it is necessary to create an even brighter future. Not long ago, soon we will return to focus on the housework. Everyone knows it, even Sarri … In one way or another, it will start from scratch, once again. Everyone against Juventus and Juventus against everyone. As it has always been and as it always will be …
