'Juve can't win everything yet'

By Football Italia staff

Juventus assistant Giovanni Martusciello has warned fans that Maurizio Sarri needs time. “It’s not easy to get results immediately.”

Sarri took over from Max Allegri over the summer but has struggled in his attempts to make Juve easier on the eye, with the Bianconeri losing the Supercoppa to Lazio just before the winter break.

Now, Martusciello has made it clear that the former Napoli boss is under no pressure to keep delivering silverware, despite their run of eight straight Scudetti.

“It’s clear that winning everything right away isn’t easy,” he told supporters at an event in Ischia.

“If we dwell on results then we’ll encounter huge difficulties, so we must move on from the final result, which can be a win or a loss like in our last game, and try to make these lads understand that the path to success must be a different one, that you can’t win everything right away.

“Unfortunately we inherited an ultra-winning team so it’s not easy to intervene in a distinct away.

“We have to confirm how well our predecessors did, but through an idea. It’s not easy to get results immediately.

“There’s no fixed date, not in a month, two months, five months or eight months, but the lads have shown great availability.

“They’re doing things that they didn’t do before because they couldn’t understand each other well and there have been flashes.”

“We need everyone on the same page and going in the same direction. That's why sometimes it succeeds and sometimes less so.”
