“Thiago Motta hasn’t done a damn thing so far. The choices are…”: Cassano tackles mister Juventus

Antonio Cassano is critical of Thiago Motta’s work so far as Juventus coach. “For three years I disintegrated Allegri deservedly because it made me shit and I always said it, I still think it. After six games I have to say the exact same thing: Thiago Motta hasn’t done a damn thing so far“, the words of the former champion of Inter, Milan and Roma to Long Live Footballthe football talk show which sees him as the protagonist with Daniele Adani and Nicola Ventola.

«The first two games: the first twenty minutes both with Verona and with Comoit started behind the ball line. And then after the first goal they started on the counterattack. And I had said that Juve would not finish in the top four because I wasn’t convinced by something – the analysis by Antonio Cassano – Three more games, one worse than the other. Thiago Motta, who I know and respect, has different ideas than Allegri. Thiago is a coach, Allegri is not. But I have to be honest, today I see the same Juve as last year. Lots of defensive phase, ideas, you can see something different, he tried to play but he sucked the last three years and he’s sucking now in the championship too. The handle has changed, but the performance results are identical. It’s a Juve that is playing a lot on the counterattack, with very slow ball possession, different ideas and trajectories but in conclusion it is doing what it has done in the last three years”.

“I’m not convinced by many situations: are these many rotations good or bad? There’s Danilo, who I’m not crazy about, who was put aside. Douglas Luiz who has been there for more than a month. Why doesn’t he play? Then the striker. There are things I want to understand, because I repeat, I respect Motta, but he’s doing shit like Juve in the last three years with incomprehensible choices that I don’t understand”, he stressed.

Antonio Cassano also doesn’t like Dusan Vlahovic: “When he gets the ball he doesn’t know what to do, he’s always there complaining about I don’t know what. If Milik is well, he is much stronger than him. The day Milik returns and is well, he plays because he is more suited to Thiago Motta’s idea”
