Football pundit Lele Adani has shared his perspective on the transition at Juventus from Massimiliano Allegri to Thiago Motta, emphasizing the need for fair comparisons between their respective tenures. Speaking on “[**Viva el Futbol**](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/adani-sulla-juventus-thiago-motta-va-paragonato-al-primo-anno-di-78156),” Adani stated, “I am not interested in making comparisons, but if others make comparisons, I have to say my piece.” He highlighted that if one wishes to be fair in evaluating Motta’s performance, it should be done in relation to Allegri’s first year, not his later years.
Adani further elaborated, “Thiago Motta in his first year will be compared to the first year of Allegri’s three-year term and not to the third. Forgive me, but why should he be compared to the third year when one has three years of work and Thiago Motta is in his first year?” He pointed out that Motta should be assessed based on his initial season at Juventus, similar to how Allegri was evaluated during his return.
To provide context for his argument, Adani shared specific statistics from their respective first seasons. He noted, “What did they do? Let me tell you: in the 2021/2022 season, after the first 14 matchdays, Juventus had 21 points in the standings and now has 26; goals scored 18 and now 22; goals conceded 16 and now 8. That’s all, just to be precise.”
