Added: 2026-05-23

[00:00:00]What's up guys? Welcome back to the channel. Welcome back to the Bianconeri Zone for a a different type of video actually, different a serious video. No transfer news because we have time to talk about transfers, but next week is decision week for Al-Khelaifi, and we need to talk about Al-Khelaifi. You know, we need to talk about decisions he makes that puts us in this situation. We can talk about Comolli and coaches and all those things, but there's one guy who enables all of this and actually there's a pattern. There's a pattern dating back to 2006. There's a pattern or a method like the way he works on signing or bringing certain players in the club that's extremely working uh worrying, excuse me. So, we're going to talk about that and then you can make your mind up because unless he doesn't change, nothing will change at this club, you know. And next week is massive. What is he going to do? Is he going to be reactionary? If somehow we get Champions League and he's like, "Actually, everything is okay." Is he going to back the coach? Is he going to back his guy Comolli he brought in?

[00:01:00]/ Is he going to back Chiellini, the guy he brought in? What the hell is he going to do? So, we're going to dissect all of that. Uh before we do that, smash that like button and subscribe to the channel.

[00:01:18]Okay, so let's start immediately because Al-Khelaifi has a track record of doing things in a very odd way. He picks guys using companies, you know?

[00:01:30]And it dates back to a very long time, you know? Laurent Blanc, you can you know, I know it's dating back a long time, but same thing. Comolli, Scanavino, they he doesn't interview these guys. Like, he doesn't speak to these guys. It goes via agencies, which is so weird in my opinion. I can kind of understand that if you're you know, leading just a company. And I know football has become a company and whatever a business, but it's still different to any type of business. You need to hire people you interview, not third-party companies, and they're like, that guy could be doing a good job.

[00:02:08]That's odd. That's weird, in my opinion.

[00:02:11]And he's done that in the same way a lot of times, not just for Juve, also for other companies, other sports teams, Ferrari, for example. You don't feel that there is a commitment to actually what he's trying to do. Even though he's more around the club ever since Agnelli left, you don't have a feeling he has that commitment because he uses companies to bring in guys to lead his own club.

[00:02:36]That, in my opinion, tells me he's not attached with the day-to-day Agnelli grew up, and I'm bringing up Agnelli Andrea Agnelli. He grew up on the training ground. He was there, you know, on the training grounds. I won't say daily, but you know what I mean. He was around He grew up around the club.

[00:02:52]Elkann grew up in a different way. He didn't grow up around the club. So, he uses those companies because he doesn't have the knowledge, he doesn't have the feeling. He's not in touch with the football world, you know, inside the football world. That's a massive problem. He doesn't, you know, for me, he's not inspiring, he doesn't show the passion. You know, when Agnelli spoke, whatever you think about him, he's he was passionate about the club. He treated that club like a real, you know, his own thing, you know, not just one of the things he owns, but really that was his full-time job. That's not the case with Elkann.

[00:03:25]And you just You have that feeling that he like he doesn't really understand what football is about or what Juve is about, maybe from the outside like we watch Juve is about, but inside, in the world of football, I don't think he knows and understands what Juve's place is. And then again, he brings on Comolli, you know, backed by I don't know which company he hired, you know, to bring in Comolli, and he has a disaster transfer window, you know, from the players he signed to being forced to keep Tudor that he doesn't want, you know, and it's it's a mess, you know? I mean, it's Right now, and I have nothing against, you know, I'm I'm all for the best guy for the job, but what he's been at the club for a for a while and he can still, you know, he's not integrated like again, it doesn't feel like he's part of, you know, what should be part of like what you should be able to do if you're part of Juve, you know? He he doesn't have that. So, the the the the squad building comes from the guy he Elkann brought in, but never really talked about, you know, because he was picked by a head hunter you know, agency or whatever, you know? And now you have a situation also with Giuntoli, all those things that you have a squad that's extremely overpaid.

[00:04:42]I don't know how many decent or good players you actually have. There's a lot of mediocrity. There's no fight, you know, there's no like like there's no point of reference in this team that all goes back to wrong decisions he made by bringing in the wrong players. Like look look, we don't have a striker who scores. We don't have a midfield We don't have a midfield who scores. I don't think we have a midfield who can defend or read games. We don't have a captain, you know, we don't have leaders on this pitch, you know? We I think I think Kalulu is the only guy who actually won a Scudetto in this or a or a league and I think in in in this squad, maybe I'm wrong, but that's only guy that comes to mind, you know? Um look at the World Cup, you know, no other Juve players aren't going to the World Cup. A handful, usually it was almost the entire Italian team. Now, over the entire World Cup, it's like not even a handful of players, I think. At this point, I think it's like five, maybe four or five, maybe five. Um so, again, a total flop. The level drops, at etc. I also have an issue with in difficult times, the management is not there to speak. Yeah, against Inter, but like obviously there was no way you were going to let, you know, a Spalletti go out there and be like, you figure it out. But with obvious errors, you know, Verona and and Lazio, you know, and and and you know, weird decisions, it's you don't feel the backing, you know? The first time it happened was against Inter, but that was like the first time in ages that the club came out and be like, okay, this is actually ridiculous.

[00:06:11]So, you don't I personally I don't feel like he's that involved in the way he should be involved in my opinion. Then, um he brings in Spalletti, I get it.

[00:06:23]And now what you're going to do? Are you going to back him? You know, we have a club right now. Scouting is not being done by the club. It's being done by third parties. And I get a lot of clubs use third parties, but all the clubs all the big clubs still have their own scouting department. And yes, they have people working for them, you know, that not, you know, full-time employed by the club, but we don't have anything right now. We we threw that away. It's it's a weird situation. It's a very weird situation at this club. And right now we are reaching a low, you know, because usually we do qualify for Champions League. The season we got kicked out, obviously, but we still qualified that season. Now you're on the pace, you know, on Sunday to not qualify for the first season. And it comes down to you.

[00:07:09]The the squad is divided, you know, the fan base is divided. Excuse me, we're Yeah, we're arguing, but that's fine, you know? But at the end of the day still it it comes down from one person person.

[00:07:23]It comes down from him. Does anyone, let me know in the comments, feels like he's really invested in the club? He's been more at Juve games right now, I get it, than the last I don't know, 10 years or so when Agnelli was in charge. When Agnelli was in charge, he came to the stadium maybe once, maybe twice, you know, a season, and that was it. Now Now he's trying to be more involved, but I still do not have the feeling that he is as involved as he should be, or actually maybe he should be less involved, and he should be picking a guy personally. But the thing is, he doesn't have that attachment with the football world. You can go back to 2006, the decisions he made at the time, it backfired back then. It's backfiring right now, not the first time, and now comes a week where it's critical that he makes the right decision, but again, way too late. He can sack Comolli, then what? Comolli has been doing the talks, which is weird because he used to hire Ottolini to do the talks, and now you're going to tell everyone you already had talks with the guy you've been speaking with for the last months and weeks is gone, do the talks over again with Ottolini or Chiellini or whatever. Like, it's actually madness at this club. It really is madness at the club, but he's at the top of it. He The buck stops at him. He makes those decisions, and I don't think that should be the case.

[00:08:42]He was still the owner, but Agnelli was doing the day-to-day chart things. He wasn't, you know, he had no clue who Agnelli was picking. It was if he was picking Nedved or Paratici as a sporting director. He he had no clue about that, you know? I know the reports were out there he needed to report, but he he was like, "I'm going to say yeah, whatever," you know? Because he was not that involved. Now he gets involved, and it's getting worse to a point that we might miss out on Champions League in the worst top four you'll ever see, you know?

[00:09:12]And it comes down to this guy as well.

[00:09:14]So we can blame players, we can blame coaches, we can blame Comolli, all good and well, all fair. But who puts those guys in place? Who enables all these things? It's him. And this guy is going to need to make another big decision this week, and I have no faith he's going to make the right one, because track record is horrible. It's really horrible.

[00:09:35]Anyways, in the comments, let me know what do you think about this. He's not going to sell the club, so don't spam the comments saying sell it. Sell the club. He's not going to do it. So, what is the solution? You know, because he tries to get more involved, but he's out of touch with it. I think that's very obvious. So, let me know in the comments, like the video, subscribe to the channel, and I'll speak to you guys tomorrow. Ciao.
