Echoing an old ad campaign for a well-known mobile company, one might say, “Life is now.” There’s no future to contemplate, nor any time looking back—only the present for Juventus, who are in dire need of a reset. Cristiano Giuntoli’s strategy doesn’t call for drastic reforms; rather, it leans towards continuity, albeit with a paradoxical demand for a clean break. This afternoon, the club’s management convened with Thiago Motta to outline their plan. The post-Fiorentina debacle is akin to a botched operation—successful on the surface, yet the patient lies lifeless. Juventus has identified a path back to glory and intends to stick to it, irrespective of the dismal results of late. The day after Florence has not brought the change many fans clamoured for, requesting Motta’s departure. Giuntoli’s comments post-match came from the heart—not mere platitudes. Yet, something must be done to steer clear of impending disaster. This is why the Football Director of the Old Lady felt compelled to appear at the Continassa training grounds, joined by CEO Maurizio Scanavino, to discuss plans for escaping this crisis. First and foremost, the imperative request is to reignite the spirit within the squad. The players seem devoid of a soul, lost in a sea of similar jerseys, moving in their own directions—intolerable to the management, who have flagged these concerns to Motta. As for the personnel, the selection process has also come under scrutiny. Names like Koopmeiners and Nico Gonzalez are many a football fan’s talking point, but it’s evident they are not solely to blame for the current plight. Ahead of the match against Genoa, whispers of a tactical switch suggest starting spots for Conceicao and Yildiz, with Gatti also proving essential in the mix. Unity behind Motta remains, but will it be enough to resurrect the true Juventus?
