“It’s up to us to give substance to Elkann’s passion”

TORINO (ITALPRESS) – John Elkann holds close Juve and Luciano Spalletti intends to return a winning team. After the declarations of Exor’s ad that reiterated the desire not to give up the club after Tether’s offer, on the eve of the Bologna transfer, the Bianconero technician emphasizes that “it makes pleasure once again to feel the strength and passion of John Elkann and the family for this club. It is up to us to give substance and concreteness to this passion, honoring the past and building a future of the same level or even better, as Elkann himself told us when he came to visit us.” A future that passes from the attitude rather than the modules. Said that “Rugani is already usable, even if in a reduced way, while Bremer, given the injury had, still needs some time, you have to go cauti”, on the passage to 4-2-3-1 Spalletti points out that “you do not win by occupying positions but spaces, going to decide where you want to bring the game, and these spaces are not among the departments, football goes towards one against one in all parts and you have to adapt – he emphasizes – The personality is fundamental in football but if once had personality who risked the play, now it takes personality in accepting the whole game. We must move forward in the continuity of these duels, of these races and chases, to attack the space. Atalanta, Rome, Bodo, Bologna, do all this: to make a game of champions you have to stay in the heart of the team for 90 minutes and close to the ball, not enough the play of an element”.

But this Juve can change: “No one will convince me to believe that they are not good, that these limits will not be able to overcome them. I have accepted to come by believing this.” Tomorrow Locatelli and comrades will find a team fit. “It is necessary to congratulate those who train it, to those who built it, is showing you to have quality, it is one of those teams that when you play wants to decide the rules, compels you to this huge amount of duels, tries to fence you and directs you in the spaces you want. We must break down these fences and go to make man beyond man. If we’re not ready for this, it’ll be a complicated evening. Italian? He is one of the strongest young coaches we have, I advised to take it to all those who asked me, not only De Laurentiis”. As with Naples, Juve will leave for the same day of the game. “We will no longer retire. The withdrawal is not a place but a mental condition, it is an extra effort, it becomes a corrosion, a rust for the head and it does not serve when you have a team of good guys as in our case. Those who wear the jersey of Juve in retreat are always there, even when they are at home”.
