Pepe: 'I don't know why I'm benched'
Simone Pepe has complained about his treatment at Juventus. “I don’t know why I’m not first choice any more.”

The former Udinese winger was brought in during the summer as part of a reinforcement campaign, but has struggled to impress.

I know that I haven’t played well so far,” he confessed to La Stampa newspaper.

“I am getting back to work in order to earn my place back. I don’t know why I’m not first choice any more.

“I can’t explain it, even if it is easy to discuss things with Coach Gigi Del Neri.”

Pepe left the door open to a possible change to his tactics, one that Gianluca Zambrotta already did at this club many years ago.

“If I was asked to play as a full-back then I’d be ready. Sometimes I think about that as a project for the future.”

Relax Pepedinho , this club needs to find the best players and tactical to bring the glory as soon as possible , i'd like to see him convert to left back , he'd offer a lot there i reckon.

The team has been doing good without him, he should just not say anything at this point. And honestly, he knew he wasn't going to be a starter when he signed.

But him as a fullback is something I think we should try, who knows, maybe he'll be a knew Zambrotta?

Yeah, it will be interesting to see him play full back. I don't rate Pepe too highly, but he is a far better player than Grygera, De Ceglie, and Motta.

It would be good to see him play as fullback. Our team would have a lot more quality if this works. We would have a solid fullback with respectable attacking capabilities.I hope Del Neri tries this.

Self-contradicting :shifty:

why does he feel his performances have been poor? seem fine to me.

DN wants to play Aqui, but not at expense of Marchisio, its pretty clear.

Perhaps you just aren't that good, Pepe.

Complaining about playing only after a few games being on the bench?

Don't like this guy.
I don't mind him, but a key part of being a squad player is his ability to keep his mouth shut.

It's worth a try to field him back there in practice to see how he trains, but nobody here knows how he'll do as a fullback.
:agree:
