Inter Milan reversed Parma 3-2, Roma defeated Catania 2-0, Napoli defeated Lazio 2-0...
Only his Juventus drew 0-0 with Sampdoria.
And it’s still at home.
Ranieri is really full of grievances about this game.
Twenty-one shots, four on target, with such efficiency, what else can he say?
In comparison, in Naples' match against Lazio, 13 of the 22 shots were on target, which is obviously much more efficient than Juventus.
This comparison seems reasonable, but it is not objective.
Why?
Ranieri said at the post-match press conference that we should consider whether the kicking opportunity created by Juventus is good or bad?
If Napoli creates better shooting opportunities, while Juventus is more reluctant to start, this is obviously not an issue of efficiency, but an issue of the team's ability to create opportunities.
As a result, the media turned around and accused his team of lacking creativity.
Even Turin Sports News said that he was too superstitious about strength and ignored technology and creativity. The tactics he designed for Juventus were unbalanced in offense and defense, and his style of play was too simple and lacked variety...
Anyway, Ranieri has a feeling that he is not fourth in Serie A, but fourth from the bottom in Serie A!
Of course, in comparison, his situation is considered good.
Look at that young man in Naples. He was almost labeled as a public enemy by the Italian media.
Ranieri's mood improved a lot when he thought about Gao Shen.
Just thinking about Naples, the Sao Paulo Stadium, and the fans who didn't even allow him to squat...
In the morning, Ranieri was shaving in front of the bathroom mirror and laughed unkindly.
Sorry, I was gloating!
…
After shaving, Ranieri went back to his room, changed his clothes, tied his tie, and put on his watch. Just as he was about to go out, the classic Nokia ringtone in his trouser pocket suddenly rang.
Ranieri took out his mobile phone and frowned when he saw the call from Seco.
He guessed that Seco wanted to blame him again for the draw with Sampdoria.
But there is no way, I still have to answer the phone calls that need to be answered.
"Hello." Ranieri answered the phone.
"Claudio, where are you?" Secco on the other end of the phone sounded a little anxious.
"I'm at home, and I'm about to have breakfast, so..." Ranieri originally wanted to say calmly, but if it was about discussing unhappy things, wait until I finish the breakfast properly.
But Seko on the other side of the phone interrupted him without waiting for him to finish, "You should give us an explanation for this matter."
Ranieri thought it was a matter of being tied at home in the league, "I know, Alessio, I will give you an explanation when I go back."
"No, no, no, Claudio, now I, the chairman, and the general manager are waiting for your explanation. You must tell me now, immediately, immediately, what is going on?"
Ranieri also became angry, and his tone became not very friendly, "I said it at the post-match press conference, we have an overwhelming advantage, we have three times as many shots as our opponents, but the state of our players
It’s not very good, the efficiency is a bit low, which makes us unable to score even though we have the upper hand, and we haven’t been able to score for a long time..."
"Wait a minute, Claudio, we said it's not about the league." Seco interrupted him again.
Ranieri was stunned, "Isn't it a matter of the league?"
Immediately afterwards, the tinker was also puzzled, "What is that?"
"We were about to ask you." Seko was also a little anxious.
"How would I know?"
"Didn't you read today's newspaper?"
"Which one?"
"Gazzetta dello Sport, La Repubblica, Gazzetta dello Sport...you don't need to choose one, all major newspapers, and even if you go online directly, major news websites are reporting on it. Capana's matter has been exposed!"
Capana?
His strength and conditioning coach, Ricardo Capana.
What happened to Kapana?
Ranieri soon realized what was happening.
He immediately walked out of the room, walked to the living room in three steps at a time, picked up a newspaper from it, and saw the headline on the front page of Turin Sports News, [Mediocrity that harms Juventus!].
Looking at another newspaper [Slow Motion], it also published news about Capana: The main culprit for Juventus' injuries!
Corriere dello Sport even ridiculed Capana as a veteran driver without a license.
For a moment, Ranieri panicked.
What he was most afraid of and worried about finally happened!
…
Almost overnight, all major media outlets across Italy were reporting on an incredible news.
Ricardo Capana from Juventus, who claims to be a well-known professor at the University of Genoa, the author of eighteen famous books on competitive sports training, and highly regarded by many professionals in the industry, has not even obtained the formal qualification of an Italian physical fitness coach.
.
In other words, he either failed to take the exam or failed the exam.
Who dares to believe it? Who can accept it?
Juventus has suffered quite a few injuries this season, but there are problems with several key players. Del Piero's second spring is because he insists on trusting his personal coach, but Camoranesi and Nedwy
This is not the case with De and others.
Capana came to Juventus with the aura of an expert and professor, and was expected and respected by Juventus. However, gradually, as the season progressed and the team suffered injuries, Capana's training began to deteriorate.
Started to be challenged.
For example, many people feel that his training methods do not fully take into account the actual situation of Juventus and blindly learn from Mourinho's training methods, combining ball training and running training.
"Juventus players simply cannot adapt to so much training with the ball, but he insists that this is the most advanced and reasonable training method." The media criticized.
Ranieri also defended Capana on more than one occasion, believing that "he needs longer time to measure the results of physical training."
The implication is that Kapana should be given more time.
Originally, everyone felt the same way, and even the voices of doubt in the locker room were very low.
After all, Capana is an expert scholar at the University of Genoa, and many professionals are studying his works.
But who would have thought that he doesn't have a coaching certificate!
Now the doubters who were originally doubtful had to start to wonder whether this so-called expert professor only knew theory without any practical experience to support him?
Also, many media have questioned whether Ranieri knew that Capana did not have a coaching certificate?
Why does a person without a coaching certificate sit on the Juventus coaching bench, and why do so many Juventus players trust him and accept his training?
So far this season, Juventus has never been in optimal condition, and injuries have not been eliminated. Is this related to Capana's training?
In addition to Juventus, has Capana proven his training methods in other teams, even amateur teams?
The answer given by the media is: No!
At least, they didn't find any relevant proof!
So, how did Ranieri choose Capana?
No one knows because when Ranieri saved Parma last season, Capana was still teaching at the University of Genoa.
…
In fact, when Juventus' management met with Ranieri in three meetings, they were also very skeptical about why he chose Ricardo Capana as Juventus's physical coach?
Ranieri rushed to Juventus headquarters early in the morning, without even having time to eat breakfast.
When faced with this problem, he repeatedly emphasized that there was no problem with Kapana's professionalism. He decided to invite Kapana to join his coaching staff only after careful consideration. It was by no means a hasty move as reported by the media.
As for why Kapana doesn’t have a coaching certificate?
Ranieri said that it was because Capana had never thought about coaching before, so he did not take the exam.
So now, the problem is obvious.
Ricardo Capana is a well-known expert professor in the Italian football circle. His works have been studied by many professionals, but he himself has no coaching certificate and no first-line practical experience.
Is he trustworthy?
"I trust him!" Ranieri cast his vote and insisted on his choice.
The Big Three of Juventus are having a huge headache because they have never encountered such a difficult problem.
It is not that there are no precedents for driving without a license in Serie A, but the problem is that they are all cases where people know the basics. For example, after some famous players retired, they rushed to coach the team without obtaining a coaching certificate.
There really are no examples like Capana.
Especially when it happens to a giant team like Juventus.
Precisely because of this, no one had doubted this before the matter was exposed.
Because a coaching certificate should be the minimum and most basic thing.
"Claudio." General Manager Blanco looked at Ranieri seriously, "Have you ever thought about, from the beginning of this summer to now, there have been many injuries in our team, and Capana's training methods
I have had doubts for a long time, and now such a thing has been revealed, how to deal with it? What will the players think mentally?"
Ranieri knows very well that after this matter is exposed, it will have a great impact on Juventus, even on him.
"I still insist on believing that he will be a very good and very professional physical coach!" Ranieri still insisted on his opinion.
In fact, he could only continue to insist on his own opinion.
Fire Capana?
For Ranieri, this is definitely the worst decision at the moment.
As for Juventus, they must also consider the consequences of the entire matter comprehensively.
Ranieri was hired by Blanco, and when such a thing came out, Seco would of course want to get back a win, but if things got out of hand and affected Juventus' season, it would be Seco's fault.
What you don’t want to see.
When that time comes, I'm afraid he, as a sports director, will have reached his end.
After all, the players he has introduced so far this season have also been criticized.
It can be said that in this matter, he and Blanco are somewhat suspected of being bad brothers.
But if this happens, how will the players explain it? How will the media comfort them?
And the big boss must give an explanation.
More importantly, we have to face Naples in the Italian Cup next!
