Former Juve captain and winner of more Scudetti than any other Juventino, Beppe Furino has more idea than most about what it takes to win. He is what he had to say when he spoke to Radio Sport on Tuesday evening;
On strategy: “I’m not convinced that spending a lot on certain players to buy our way back can work. In the past we have always had coaches and management who could make excellent choices in the market, without spending a lot of money but rather seek out younger players who went on to be very useful for Juventus.”
On the past: “I hope that Marotta and Paratici know how to create a team for the likes of Juventus. The problem is that first you need to understand the players to be confirmed and those to be sold. It is clear that if you purchase without selling is likely to create problems.”
On midfield: “In the middle of the pitch the team is already pretty settled with the arrival of Pirlo, who is a great player. The problem is on the wings, both in midfield and at the back.”
On Krasic: “Krasic is a player I find a little strange because it has qualities such as current speed, ball control and physicality but lacks more basic skills. His talents are those of movement and beating his opponent and I think Conte will use him a lot and ask much of him. I hope he can develop a strong personality. He is an interesting player that can definitely be a regular in the starting eleven.”
On Chiellini: “He is a good player, a pillar in the Juve defence, however no one is indispensable.”
