Not only is Moggi missed and needed by fans, in fact, people have long lost trust in Del Neri. In the voting of "Who do you expect to be the coach of Juventus next season" conducted by "All Juventus", only 3.99% of Juventus fans chose Del Neri! The one with the highest votes was actually Capello, this meritorious coach who fled Juventus after the phone scandal received 35% of the votes. The second place went to Spaletti, with a support rate of 17%. And Mourinho, once Juventus's archenemy, ranked third with a vote rate of 11.56%. Regardless of how many events Moggi has been involved in outside the stadium, his methods in handling internal team relationships have always greatly benefited Juventus. There were very few player rebellions in the Juventus team back then, and on the field, they always showed an extremely tenacious fighting spirit. Not to mention Moggi's skills in the transfer market, Marotta has not yet produced any notable works, which clearly shows a huge gap compared to Moggi. Moggi's ban will end in June this year, and Agnelli cannot fail to hear the calls of the fans. Moggi's return might not just be a conjecture.
Under such circumstances, it is understandable that Moggi's name is being shouted by Juventus fans. After the game, columnist Maru of "All Market" commented: "Last night Juventus suffered a complete collapse, it was their second time being thoroughly defeated by a relegation-threatened team. The situation is now quite urgent. In fact, the fans are already fed up and repeatedly calling out Moggi's name." What Juventus fans miss is not only the iron army during Moggi's era but also obviously the iron-fisted manager like Moggi.
It is worth noting that Mourinho is also someone in former Juventus striker Trezeguet's mind who can save theć–‘ horse team. Recently, in an interview with the media, Trezeguet strongly suggested to Juventus management: "Juventus, sign Mourinho! Mourinho is the world's best, Del Neri and Agnelli work hard, but a Ferrari needs a driver who knows how to handle it." It is obvious that given Mourinho's feelings towards Inter Milan, he would never join Juventus. But from Trezeguet's words, it is clear that this legendary Juventus striker is deeply disappointed with Juventus. If it weren't for the last moment, who would want such a sworn enemy as Mourinho to coach Juventus?
The lack of control over the team by the upper management is now an undeniable fact. Marotta appears on the stands for every match, but such "supervision" seems to bring no positive results at all. Apart from allowing media interviews on the stands before the game, most of the time, Juventus General Manager acts more like a fan. There is no doubt that compared to the previous Juventus team with strict discipline, the current Bianconeri completely lack the intensity and character brought by execution. Del Neri and Marotta may talk well to the media, but what these two have done looks far less impressive than what they say.
Juventus' 0-2 home defeat to Bologna made the Turin Olympic Stadium explode. Unable to accept the sorry state of their team, the home fans finally could not suppress their anger and started booing the Juventus players on the pitch. Instead of venting anger on specific players, the fans' dissatisfaction was directed at the club's upper management. Satirical chants like "We want to win the league championship" echoed throughout the stadium, and the name of former Juventus general manager Moggi was chanted by all the fans. Indeed, the Juventus that is sick needs strong medicine to cure it.
The current Juventus is like a vertical falling object that can't stop its decline. Neither the players, the coaching staff, nor the upper management can come up with better response strategies. After the defeat in Lecce, both Del Neri and Marotta severely criticized the team's mental outlook. Juventus President Agnelli even publicly criticized the players' attitudes twice in the middle of the week. In theory, the Juventus players who appeared on the Turin Olympic Stadium last night should have shown a different face, but in the game, they couldn't hold on for long and ended up being the first to be broken.
Juventus could beat Inter Milan at home but then lost disgracefully to weaker teams like Lecce and Bologna, a tragedy that no one can accept. Losing to Lecce was away, so the Juventus players at least didn't have to "enjoy" the storm of criticism from the home fans. Losing at home to Bologna in this round, however, left Juventus players and coaches to miserably flee from this pitch amidst the angry "greetings" of the home fans.
