Juventus Have Made Too Many Mistakes This Season – Claudio Marchisio(Goal.com)

As Juventus’ Champions League hopes were eventually extinguished this afternoon following the 1-1 draw with Catania, Claudio Marchisio bemoaned a year to forget for the Bianconeri, who are expected to make wholesale changes in the coming months.

“We have made too many mistakes this season,” he declared to SkySport.

“If you look at the statistics, it's clear that we have conceded far to many goals and dropped too many points.

“The blame lies with the entire squad and not just the defence however.

“Until just a few weeks ago we were very fragile mentally and you cannot chase the top spots in such a condition.

The midfielder was then probed on the possible arrival of Rafael Benitez during the summer.

“He is a great coach: that goes without saying. However, there are still two games left to play and all we are focused on right now is closing the season in the best possible manner.”


ユベントスは残り2節を残して、チャンピオンズリーグ圏内の4位になる可能性が消滅。プリマヴェーラからの叩き上げであるマルキジオは、「今シーズン、あまりにも多くのミスがあり、多くのポイントを落としてしまった」と今シーズンのユベントスの失敗を認めている。

フェラーラからザッケローニに代わり、チームは徐々に上向いてきたものの、最後まで強いユベントスを復活させることはできなかった。

カンピオナートで確実に勝ち点が計算できる相手はいないのだが、それでももっと高い順位というのは望めたはずだ。だが、怪我人も多くあり、チーム内のごたごたもあり、フェラーラがチームの戦術を上手く整えられなかったこともありで、ユベントスは失速。チャンピオンズリーグ圏内から滑り落ちてしまった。

残り2試合でヨーロッパリーグの出場権は確保しているのだが、それでもチャンピオンズリーグに比べると利益も小さい。チームのオーバーホールと再建には身の丈にあったコンペティションなのかもしれないが。

Juventus need overhaul whoever takes over(Reuters UK)

Media reports predict Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez will take over for next term but whoever arrives has a vast job on their hands given the players have lacked passion and cohesion.

Serie A's most successful and biggest-supported club will not be playing in the Champions League next season after Sunday's 1-1 draw at Catania left the seventh-placed side eight points behind fourth spot with just two games left.

Embarrassing defeats to Bayern Munich and Fulham also knocked Juve out of the Champions League and Europa League.

Ex-AC Milan boss Zaccheroni, who succeeded the sacked Ciro Ferrara in January after three years out of work, was unusually frank about his situation and what the club had to do next.

"I think it's not my problem, it's a problem for the club as I'm just contracted until June 30. They don't need loads of changes but of course something is lacking," he told Sky TV.

"I've never blamed injuries, there were injuries before I arrived. But there has been a lack of general fitness. I've not been able to train the team because we have played every three days. Brilliance arrives from having a strong physical condition. As a group we haven't managed that."

As a group they have managed very little since Claudio Ranieri, now enjoying a superb campaign for double-chasing AS Roma, was surprisingly sacked towards the end of last term.

Rookie Ferrara, the youth team coach, secured Champions League football in the final two games of last season but the club's close-season signings horribly backfired.

Expensive Brazilian midfielders Felipe Melo and Diego have been spectacular flops but fans say Juve's biggest mistake was not persuading the retired Pavel Nedved to stay on another year.

Without the Czech left winger, Juve lost their traditional 4-4-2 shape and this season the team have looked like strangers.

Supporters are used to recent adversity after the club had to spend the 2006/07 season in Serie B because of a match-fixing demotion but this term has been almost as painful.

Money is available to buy players, despite an new stadium being built for 2011, with the appointment of president Andrea Agnelli in midweek showing the commitment of the heirs to the FIAT fortune who control the club.

Midfielder Claudio Marchisio, a rare bright spot this term having broken into the Italy team, praised Benitez .

"He's obviously a very good coach, he's done great things at Liverpool but these are just rumours in newspapers," he said.

"We've conceded so many goals, 50, which is way too many for a team like Juventus."


実際のところ、ザッケローニはよくマネージメントしたと思う。怪我人が多く、ユベントスは崩壊寸前だったのだ。B降格から急激に登りすぎて体力が尽きたという感じに失速している。

その中でようやく戦えるチームとして生まれ変わりつつある。

ただ、レギュラーの高齢化により、幾人かの選手の入れ替えが必要なのは間違いがないところ。

ベニテスが来て、リバプール化される可能性もあるわけだが、改革には痛みがともなうことも覚悟しなければならない。

お金で解決する問題であっても、それに頼ると痛い目にあう。

健全経営でチャンピオンが狙えるに越したことはないのだから。
