Felipe Melo Is Our Leader - Juventus Coach Luigi Del Neri
Luigi Del Neri is putting faith in Juventus midfielder Felipe Melo.


Juventus coach Luigi Del Neri has described Felipe Melo as a leader, and is confident the Brazilian will put his nervy past behind him.

Melo struggled to adapt last season following his big money move from Fiorentina.

But Del Neri has recast the mindset and is expecting a stellar campaign from the combative midfielder.

"Is there are leader in this group? From what I have seen in these first few months I say Melo is the leader," Del Neri told Tuttosport.

"I have no complaints about him. He jokes in the dressing room and he is doing really well.

"Who is Melo's ideal partner? I would say all of our players can co-exist in the midfield."

Juventus have strengthened considerably over the summer, but Del Neri believes they are still lacking compared to Inter and Milan.

"Inter are the strongest team in Serie A. They must only recover from bingeing on victories.

"Milan have focused on great champions like Juve a year ago. Anyway, whoever criticises our transfer strategy is mistaken.

"All the players who arrived are internationals, the others were already in the squad. That said, everyone likes to have aces."

Melo-Aquilani midfield has huge potential if Aquilani stays fit and Melo keeps up the form of the first few games.

 

[JuveJay]

I heard you are quite intimidating in the dressing room?

 

[Fake Melo]

I am hilarious.

 

[JuveJay]

Is that what you say before you threaten to kill everyone?

 

[JuventinMalti]

Is Del Neri trying to make a Davids out of Melo?

With Melo's character it's not entirely unlikely that he would actually register on a Juventus forum to talk about himself.

 

[Albertmare]

I am hilarious.

Aushim will love his style , i swear

 

[Byrone]

Whats up with the percy watson shades, nowadays?

 

[Firestarter]

Aushim will love his style , i swear

Why's that? I don't really like the shades, hah.

 

[Vinny Del Pogba]

Ya, the shades are good evidence of Douchebaggery.

 

[Byrone]

Nah percy watson rocks them shades & he's funny as hell. Although he doesn't even have lenses in his.

 

[Delle Alpi]

He was totally a mess in the first 25 minutes, but I thought he did a good job in the last 20 minutes, and just calmed down. He needs to release the ball quickers, and let the play flow

 

[Juventino[RUS]]

Good perfomance, well done Melo, was so unlucky with that header......

 

[da_ledgeaun]

Another good match..needs to make those passes faster and play more through ball

 

[Salvatore]

His hustle in the middle is good. Just needs to work on not slipping to give the opposition a one vs one chance.

 

[MikeM]

He's faster than last year. He's absolutely KILLING people in midfield.
