The defeat against Genoa triggered a strong reaction within Juventus. The lost 1‑0, with Bremer's goal, represented the second of three matches in which Spalletti's team failed to reach expectations. In response, CEO GiovanniCarnevali called the team to the center of the pitch at the Continassa sports center, where he spoke to the coach in the presence of all the players. His message was direct and clear: the current situation is not acceptable and the team must change immediately.
Carnevali reiterated his trust in the technical staff, but called for an immediate change. “We can't go on like this,” he declared, underlining the importance of a different attitude during matches. The coach, in turn, has requested that Juventus move to Continassa for a retreat that will begin tomorrow, in view of the match against Napoli on Sunday evening, matchday 10 of Serie A. The retreat was conceived as an opportunity to regroup the team and prepare in detail for a match that is worth much more than three points.
During the meeting, Carnevali expressed his frustration with the 1‑0 performance against Genoa, highlighting how the team was unable to play the match from the first minute. “It was unacceptable,” he said, calling for a quick reaction from the players. The coach, however, maintained his position, declaring that the technical staff remains in place and that the responsibility to improve the team falls on him.
The event highlighted the tension between the management and the team, but also highlighted the desire not to change the technical structure. Spalletti expressed his self-criticism, apologizing to the fans for the defeat and recognizing the need for a more solid approach. Despite the pressure, Juventus remains in the hands of the same coach, with the hope of recovering their form and facing Napoli with greater determination.
The next step for the team is the training camp at Continassa, where they will focus on tactics and motivation for the upcoming challenge. If Juventus manages to transform this crisis into an opportunity, they will be able to compete at the highest level again. However, if the team is unable to find the right momentum, the season could become even more uncertain. In any case, fans are waiting to see how Juventus will react in this crucial phase of the championship.
