The words of Fabio Capello

Fabio Capello spoke to the Gazzetta dello Sport about Juventus: "Players like Chiesa, Szczesny, Danilo… were sent away. They had done great things for Juventus. One è thought to make a revolution right away. Instead, coming to a new team, in my opinion you had to evaluate first what was in the house. Becauseé those players know the value of wearing a heavy jersey like Juve’s. Lì you have to win it. The new ones that came in have not yet shown that they have that value and then they were put in a completely new system of play".

"They faced difficulties" and in these the’coach continued on his way, convinced that he would come out on top. You play a very good first half in Naples, in which it seems that the team has assimilated the concepts you preach, but then at the first useful opportunity you don’t play that same team again, rather you change six players and put them in positions other than their own, where they don’t render. I think of Weah at fullback, McKennie on the left, Yildiz behind the point…. The’coach still hasn’t managed to get the team to play the way he wants".

"So I ask myself: you saw a glimmer of light in the first half in Naples and you revolutionize everything again? These were revisable choices. When we thought he had found some fixed points he changed players again. You have to understand the team and make them play according to who you have. There is no one form, but he seems to interpret soccer in only one way. If we just think about the defeat to Benfica: You have a very important game like this and you make a revolution? I as a coach cannot understand it",

"I ask myself a question: è is it all Motta’s fault? Also becauseé a new coach, who comes to a company like Juventus, always has a short time and in that short time he has to win. And it è not that last summer’s market was cheap, a lot of money was spent. Vlahovic è a footballer who is not suitable for the kind of game Motta wants to play. He wants one who participates in the maneuver, Vlahovic è a man of the penalty area but Juve puts in few balls. È a technical choice but not having strikers I think a man of the area like the Serbian can always fit in the formation. When it comes to Juventus, Milan, Inter è so è there is no patience. They do not want to participate, they want to win".
