At this point after following on line what is going on with Ranieri-Cobolli vs la vecchia guardia is pretty clear that Ranieri has to go in order the old guard to stay.

Suddenly all rumours regarding ADP ending his carrear in the major league soccer start to make sense.
He is obviously not in sintony with Ranieri, but most of all he is not in sintony with the management. He clearly states the old juve style is not the one that is managing the club right now.
What I see in this interview is the sadness of a leader that has grew up in Juve, in fact he says in the interview " I think about juve as my house", and is seeing now
how the incompetence of the Elkans and the management is taking the club to a no return way.
Today watching SKY I have the feeling of have been watching Inter´s problems a few years ago.
Seeing alex saying what he said in the way he said it made feel he was feeling the same way I was...
It s sad - but at the same time Im more proud than ever of our captain, sorry, CAPTAIN

This mang has been on his back ever since his contract, wtf do they want from our old guards? They did the same with Pavel, Gigi, Del Piero, Trezeguet and Mauro.


I don't want to sound biased here but there's a reason why Ale isn't happy there. I feel sorry for him.

Grande Ale at that interview.. It's very clear there's something wrong. And I support the old guards, since the beginning I wasn't happy with that new board.. Pff, and Ranieri is a coach who doesn't have any achievements, and Juve is a team who has alot of achievements..

Italians are so full of bullshit :D. Look at the way he's standing there. Oh my, they're always acting so serious. You got to love the language though. My god, it's fun to speak Italian.

Something is obviously wrong and the guy's right when he says Del Piero isn't telling us everything, but TBH I think it will be resolved soon. It's normal for these problems to arise now.

I understand main point but, can anyone translate exactly what did he say
Andries, would you please translate for me the most important parts he said in that interview?
There are some important points, but there was one in particular that was a bit odd as it seemed like Alex didn't know what to say. First he said everyone at Juventus should be man enough to say what they think in public. But then he didn't say who might not to do so and refused to make his original point any clearer.

TBH he looked like he was trying to say something without using the actual words. He said there were problems on and off the pitch a couple of times but that they should be resolved, mostly by talking about them. He also said that the players gave their all during the game.

He looked pretty cornered and I think he was frustrated. Del Piero's one of the more intelligent players out there and he's pretty good with the press, so if he gives an interview like this, there definitely are some problems going on at Juventus, it's just not clear which.

Another interesting point was that they were talking about the old guard being against Ranieri and how some older players had been benched and could be unhappy. What's really strange is that Del Piero responded by saying that he got the point, instead of saying that he backed Ranieri, which is what players generally do in these cases.

All this tells me that the relationship between Ranieri and Juve's old guard is pretty fucked up.

How did you conclude that Ranieri is out, Andries?
Because Del Piero is the kind of guy who gets what he wants. And generally that's because he wants what's right for Juventus. Now I don't know much about Ranieri's behaviour towards Del Piero, Nedved and others, but I do sense that there is something very wrong with it. Given the fact that you obviously can't change the players, you have to change the coach.

This is just weird. I mean, it's not Ranieri is benching Del Piero, Nedved, Camoranesi or any of the old guard. It must have to do with more, which is very worrying.

Who knows, but perhaps the training techniques of Ranieri is what Alex doesn't like. Looking from here, seeing the supposed team out there not look together at all, that may be the problem.

Thanks for the info, Andries.

I don't know whether Alex has some problems with Ranieri that could be resolved but I just get the feeling that he is rather frustrated with the management and how things are being conducted at Juve. I don't know I may be jumping to conclusions, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Alex sees 'united' Juve


Monday 6 October, 2008

Alessandro Del Piero maintains that Juventus' dressing room is united and will pull together to ease the current crisis.

There is speculation over the future of Coach Claudio Ranieri after draws with Catania, Sampdoria and BATE Borisov and a defeat at home to Palermo yesterday.

But Del Piero denies that there is unrest amongst the players and believes the Old Lady will present a united front.

“Are there problems in the dressing room? I haven't noticed any particular friction,” he said.

“Nobody has come to me to say there is a problem and if there were I would hope to talk face-to-face.

“There is unity and solidarity and I am optimistic that things will get better.

“We need to work hard and give as much as we can. A lot of things haven't been working out for us and we need to steady the ship.”

Juve's next test is a daunting trip to Napoli's Stadio San Paolo after the international break.
