Juve, Chiellini, the announcement of the farewell: “I’m sorry without a win”

“Sorry to leave with a winless season after ten years”. Giorgio Chiellini’s long-awaited announcement of farewell to Juventus comes with an assessment of the Juventus season after the defeat against Inter in the Italian Cup final. “On Monday I will celebrate and say goodbye to my Juventus Stadium against Lazio, then if I am well I will make a few scampoletto in Florence to keep fit for the national team, but I give the scepter to the youngsters and I hope I have left something – said the Juventus captain -. I am happy to have left at such a high level, for many years I said I did not want to end up struggling: today as long as I did it I think I have shown that I am still there. Soon I will be the biggest Juventus fan. ”

Time to leave

–

Chiellini is even clearer shortly after: “I think I have given a lot to this team and that it is the right time to leave this Juve. We need new energy, freshness and new people who take on the right responsibilities: I think I have given something to many young people and I hope that in the next few years they can carry on the values ​​of the history of this club. ” The future? “I greet Juventus for sure, in the next few weeks I will evaluate with my two families, Juve and the one at home, the path to be tackled. I will certainly leave Juve and the National team on 1 June, then I will evaluate what to do”.

Anger for the future

–

“I’m sorry. Surely they had the dominance of the ball and the game but we were able to keep it well”, was Chiellini’s comment on the final. “We have suffered two Eurogols and two penalties, there is a bit of bitterness because we hoped to bring it home. Inter have shown that they are stronger in all the direct matches, we have lacked something. I hope the anger for this. give us the character to be competitive every day of next season, because the Scudetto is not won only in head-to-head matches but in all matches “.

Competitive

–

Chiellini then reiterates the concept: “It is clear that something has gone wrong, there has been a path of improvement but honestly we are still far from the strongest team and the head-to-head clashes have shown it. We need to make a broader analysis: we need to improve. but not only in direct clashes, rather in continuity, desire and character. That something that has been part of Juve for so many years is missing, this awareness must give the right energy for the restart. I believe that the coach is the right person to pass on this DNA, next year this team cannot accept to close without titles “. Because something was missing this year: “Yes, the results show it, but the important thing is to be aware of the improvements that are needed. When things go wrong it is not easy to get the team out of trouble alone: ​​in the years of seventh place I looked like a wet chick too. Now it’s up to the boys to continue: I did everything I could do. ” Next.
