Simone Braglia, former Juventus goalkeeper and now free agent, spoke live on TuttomercatoWeb radio about the current climate in Serie A, focusing in particular on Milan and the Milan derby. According to Braglia, the Rossoneri team needs stable management: "I don't think we should resort to a ferryman. The responsibility must fall on the owners and the players, not on the coach." He stressed that the blame for the results does not fall on Stefano Spalletti, but on previous signings and the management of the squad, which "does not have the quality of a Juventus team". Braglia also praised Bologna coach Gianluca Carnevali for bringing the team together after the match against Genoa, saying Juventus cannot afford to lose their reputation.
In the context of the upcoming matches, Braglia expressed optimism for Milan, calling the derby against Inter "the turning point match". According to the former goalkeeper, if Milan manage to win, they will be able to rekindle the hope of a race for the Scudetto, while a defeat would mean the end of the competition for the Rossoneri team. “Milan needs team spirit and a decisive approach against a squad that, qualitatively, is superior,” he added.
As for Juventus, Braglia stated that the club should not target a player like Edin Džeko, but rather a young talent. “A young player could bring freshness to the squad, instead of looking for a veteran,” he suggested. In terms of rivalries, Braglia said he did not see any particular difficulties for Roma or Lazio, but expressed concern that Roma could find themselves in difficulty in Udine, where the Juventus team cannot afford to lose all the matches.
Finally, Braglia asked if Juventus should sign Icardi, replying that "he was a great player in the past, but now the team needs something else." The former goalkeeper concluded that Juventus must focus on the future and not on the past. With these observations, Braglia left the audience with a clear vision of the upcoming challenges for Italian teams and the importance of coherent and responsible management.
