The former Juventus midfielder: “I would like to see the 5 stars together, the club’s DNA can make the difference in difficulties. Zirkzee? He’s not a striker, but…”
“We’re halfway through the season and so far it’s a 5.5 Juventus.” Word of Massimo Mauro, Italian and world champion with the Lady in the 1980s. “Now it’s difficult to see the glass as half full – says the former midfielder –. Added to the too many draws in the league was this elimination in the Super Cup against Milan, not the most difficult team to face in this period. It’s no coincidence that Juventus for long stretches he played better than the Rossoneri, but in the top clubs something more is needed in terms of temperament to bring home results. I see many players who do their job well, but for Juventus it’s not enough. Lately the Bianconeri have conceded goals to everyone: Cagliari, Lecce, Venezia, Bologna, Fiorentina… It’s not in Juve’s DNA to make so many individual mistakes and be so far from the top.”
