The coach would like a goalkeeper and a center forward by the first days of July, but the new CEO has to start from scratch. And by next Tuesday we need 12-13 million in proceeds

Two weekends and a photo. Giovanni Carnevali, new CEO and Juventus general manager, and Luciano Spalletti, coach for the next two years, began their adventure under the umbrella of Forte dei Marmi and training an empathy contained in the embrace when, at the restaurant, the second Sunday together ended. Luciano won the first set: many greetings to Damien Comolli, the algorithm man, and off to the turning point inside the Continassa. And Luciano is playing the new game in the name of trust: a goalkeeper and a striker by the first days of July were written on Forte’s menu with a note like “for starters…”.

carnivals between reinforcements and capital gains

Carnevali believed (hoped) that on the office table on the top floor of the Juventus headquarters inside the Dibu Martinez and Kolo Muoni/Sorloth files there was something: nothing. So he got to work non-stop, without haste because this will be the market for creative ideas: the blanket is not very long, if you invest more in the goalkeeper there is less for the striker to put on the field. The delicate topic of capital gains on the altar of a budget to be preserved is strictly topical, but not so close as to take one’s breath away: the expected money will arrive from Miretti or Adzic – twelve, thirteen million euros – and it will arrive by next Tuesday, but if it doesn’t happen, no drama.

the global variable

The World Cup is a variable, for everyone, not to be overlooked and Carnevali and Spalletti said this while looking each other in the eye, citing the Koné case: if someone had already made a move on the name of the Sassuolo player – the profile was on the transfer agenda of many – today they would be dealing with the cost of bad luck and a new signing stuck in the pits for at least six, seven months. A physical mishap can also happen in training, but in a competition, the noblest one, and after ten months of frenetic activity the chances of a problem increase exponentially. Looking each other in the eye, Carnevali and Spalletti also discussed the need to find a director: not due to Locatelli’s lack of credibility, but to give him some respite or to support him. Made in Italy if possible.
