Juventus legend Pavel Nedved criticizes players, hints at Luigi Delneri exit – Serie A news
Legendary http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Czech-Republic-c2882 winger, Pavel Nedved, has highly criticized the current Juventus outfit for not upholding the values of the club. Nedved slammed the lack of effort put in by the Bianconeri this campaign and was left extremely disappointed after
going out of contention for the UEFA Champions League spot.
La Vecchia Signora lost 1-0 to Parma in a League game and were the victim of their very own http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sebastian-Giovinco-c32724, who netted in the solitary goal of that game; the atomic ant is currently on loan with the Ducali. Juventus looked all set to qualify for Champions
League before the start of 2011, but it all went wrong since then and now even a UEFA Europa League spot looks an unrealistic objective.
The 38-year-old held the players responsible for a decline in club’s form and also hinted towards an exit for the coach, Luigi Del Neri. He claimed Delneri has failed to perform up to expectations and the club would only decide upon the manager’s future
once the season closes.
After spending almost eight years with Juventus as a player Nedved is now one of the officials at the club. During his tenure, the former winger managed 244 Serie A appearances from which he bagged 51 goals. He also won the Scudetto four times with the Old
Lady (2001/02, 2002/03, 2004/05 and 2005/06).
He believed that the youngsters have not really understood the importance of wearing the Juventus jersey and urged them to get their acts right before the start of 2011/12 campaign.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775 player added, "Who is at fault? The players, first of all. The new ones still haven't yet understood what it means to wear the Juventus shirt. The older ones have lost this knowledge and were unable to pass on the winning spirit to the rest
of the group. Character was completely missing at Juve this year. It's been a disappointing season. It seems to me that it's right under their noses."
He also confirmed that the Turin giants have already short listed the names of candidates who could fill in the boots of Delneri. Nedved hinted towards the appointment of current AC Siena coach, Antonio Conte.
Juventus are currently seventh in the Serie A table with 57 points and will fold their campaign with a game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/May-22-c39884.
