You always avoid the question about Conte, you always seem to dodge it. You always said that it was an insult to the fans that he accepted the coach role, what happened there? Cronios proven wrong?
I didn't realise there was such intention.
So let me clarify it .
We suffered quite a lot, all these years and a great part of that, is the selection of the coach.
You know my stance about the managers choices over the coach matter.
After all we have been through, the last thing we needed was another failure. We ought not to risk and secure a proven coach.
I liked Conte the player, but he was an unknown and unproven quantity in serie a.
For both juve s and Conte s shake, it would be unwise to select him.
I did not want us to destroy his serie a carrier, like we did with ferrara.
Selecting a wild card after wild card, with the sheer focus of being a puppet, that would promote the Italy juve project, then take the whole blame and the boot, while will only cost a very small hiring fee and will not demand non mediocre players,
Has been our strategy, since we got rid of DD, because he loved juve too much to do that.
I didn't want this to happen to Conte too, I didn't want us to lose yet another 2-3 years because of that.
But we just got lucky this time, Conte managed to cope and deliver, even himself he said yesterday that a year in this level helped mature as a coach, as 5 in serie b.
Sometimes in life lady blind luck gives you a chance.
I don't want to risk, I would prefer someone proven to a wild card, esp if this wild card is keen to me and has the potential to become been, but pushed prematurely, we risk to burn it, forever...
Conte convinced me even before the season started, once we got him, I wanted to believe in him and not to see him end up like ciro and US wasting another year.
He scared me a bit, when I saw that the corporate orders of the Italy juve project were applied by him, with no hesitation.
But he rapidly earned my respect for presenting our team with an attacking plan, the first time after capello.
Finally reckon our defensive issue and calibrated our team, so we can overcome them, again not fixed since the capello days.
And as a bonus, we play the beautiful possession football, I have been craving to see since Lippi!
Yes of course he is not perfect and might be owned by high quality coaches in cl, next year.
But lucky us, in serie a, competition goes as far as alegri...
So he has the time to learn and adapt and at least help us settle in the top places of serie a .
As long as our owners won't change, their priorities will remain the same, not compete but to appease.
Not to make new fans, but keep as many as the old ones, as possible.
Not to invest-create, but to milk-fool.
It is a blessing that searching with all the wrong intention got us a gem like that.
The chances to find another one are minimal, so once we got so lucky, we must not risk ever again to lose him.
Because we have to change 5-6 crappy coaches, until we find another gem within the trash bin we are searching.
I am afraid though that once Conte is established, he might ask for a decent salary and might demand proper players, changing the cheap expendable puppet profile he was selected for.
Then, they will prolly find an excuse to boot him, like they did with DD...
