its strange to read such ciriticisms of Marotta after our last two games have shown, clearly...that when we get the bit between our teeth, THIS team, yes the one that marotta helped to build, can actually deserve to beat the current european and domestic champions, then definitely deserve to lose to Lecce. Marotta creates the squad, but it his not part of his job to create team spirit, organize tactics, motivate, make subsitutions, coach, train....they are the jobs of Del Neri and his coaching team. Marotta can be accused of bringing in players who we could see before, lacked the spirit and hunger we desperately needed in the squad after last season's horrorshow...but bonucci, storari, quags, krasic, matri, barzagli, sorensen, even pepe to a degree, added to buffon, chiellini, marchiso, melo, iaquinta, de ceglie...should be enough to be far better than we are. Our biggest problems are not, as i see them, marotta failing miserably in HIS job, its more a case of Del Neri failing in his.
I can see that blaming Marotta for hiring del neri in the first place makes sense...but i thought Agnelli had a big say, perhaps the final say in the matter, as would have blanc...
