Luciano Spalletti is concerned about Yildiz but says no to Mauro Icardi

Luciano Spalletti spoke first to the microphones of DAZN and then to those of Sky Sport about his Juventus’ victory in Parma: “Data often lead you astray. You have to look at the real behavior of the players: the sudden accelerations, the second balls, the duels. That’s where you get into the real game, and that’s where the result is often decided. If the players talk about unique coaching I am pleased, but I told them not to talk about me. The compliments must be for the teammates. I see a team that wants to play, have fun and always stay connected to the game. There is the potential to become a very strong group”.

“Kalulu’s position is critical to create alternatives and confusion in opposing markings. The ability to move at the right time is needed. A team must be able to play short and long, read situations and change at a moment”. Then the thought of Di Lorenzo, praised as a master in interpreting space”. On Yildiz’s condition: “In the first half he felt pain but managed to grit his teeth. Now it also hurts to walk, but the doctors are confident. By Thursday it is difficult, let”.

Closing on market rumors: “Of Icardi I can only speak well as a man and as a goleador, but he is not the profile we are looking for. We need a player with specific characteristics, otherwise we stay like this”, the door in the Argentine&#8217s face, before a final joke on McKennie: “He is a bomber from another era, an incredible footballer”.

Giorgio Chiellini, speaking before the match against Parma, had already spoken about the resounding market rumor that exploded earlier in the day: “Icardi was a suggestion born after the coach’s conference but there was never anything concrete. I feel I can rule out the’operation”.
