The former Juventus player promotes Spalletti: “Good at understanding the problems and rebuilding the collective. Now comes the best part. Juve sold? But can you imagine the club going to a sheik or a fund? Juve is Agnelli. And Elkann always put in the money, then it happened that it was spent badly…”

Woe betide anyone who tells Massimo Mauro that Yildiz bears any resemblance to his Platini. “If we’re talking about Del Piero, yes. Because he’s more of an attacker like him. But there’s still a way to go to reach Michel’s level.” A bit like Juve who are growing and closer to the top teams, but “from now on they must demonstrate that they are ready for the leap in quality”.
