The leap from the past was challenging. The feeling, however, is that things can improve in the new year
Those were not Juventus years that we put behind us. From Ronaldo’s farewell at the start of the championship, which affected an entire season, to Pogba’s injury. From the elimination of the entire board of directors to the long controversy linked to capital gains, with a push and pull over the extent of the penalty. From Pogba’s new waiver to Fagioli’s disqualification. In short, all sorts of things happened, and, in all of this, Allegri still managed – and this is no small feat – to achieve a third place in the Champions League and an Italian Cup. Not enough for a team, a company, historically used to fighting for other goals. Even the last months of this 2024, after the summer revolution, have left us a little cautious. Those who expected a radical change with the arrival of Thiago Motta – from the point of view of the game and the results – were in fact disappointed. But the feeling – absolutely personal – is that the next one, 2025, can really go back to being a Juve year, a true Juve one. For five fundamental reasons.
