The Los Angeles FC defender makes a point on the fight against the Scudetto: "Inter are favored by detachment, but Juve's 17 points are not bad."
A life choice, that of moving to Los Angeles after the Juventus era. A thoughtful choice for Giorgio Chiellini, who lives in the States in one of his most famous cities, just a few steps from the stars of the film, music and sports industry.
Ready to go, a few weeks after his arrival, Chiellini graduated as MLS Champion leading the Los Angeles FC defense, along with the various Bale and Vela. If the Welshman stayed, the Mexican remained in the team on a par with the former Juventus, so as to try to reconfirm himself on the roof of North-America.
Under contract with the Los Angeles club until December 2023, Chiellini has certainly not forgotten the Bianconeri years. Juventus is always his home, where friends and colleagues live, brothers.
Many would like to see him again at the Stadium as a manager once the boots are hung up, but the Livorno defender will have the opportunity to receive the applause of his people already in the coming months, just after the end of the MLS year, shortly before the conclusion of the contract. Whatever the playoffs go.
CHIELLINI AT THE STADIUM
"I honestly don't know if I will become a Juve executive, base until the summer I will stay here," said Chiellini, interviewed by Radio Bianconeri. "Then I should go back to live in Turin and then we'll see. For sure in December Juventus-Roma I'll come to see her."
A date to be marked in the calendar for those who can't wait to 'embrace' Chiellini again in the stadium of a thousand battles. On December 30, a few hours after the conclusion of the contract with Los Angeles FC expiring on New Year's Eve, the defender will have the opportunity to receive the embrace of his old Bianconeri fans.
Then, for a future to be directed starting from 2024/2025 we will see: open question.
CLEARLY INTER
In the chat from Los Angeles, Chiellini also talked about the fight for the Scudetto. In view of the ninth round, the first after the stop, there are several teams in a few points: none of them here have had an excellent season, considering how the entire Serie A has suffered at least one defeat.
For Chellini, however, there are no doubts about the team to be beaten, with the Nerazzurri colors:
"I've always been a realist, I'm for balance and small steps, this year Inter are the favorite for detachment."
What about his Juventus?
"He has to do what he's doing, there was only one misstep but otherwise 17 points in eight games are not that bad, you have to stay there and then you'll see."
THE NEW JUVE
Without the injured Alex Sandro, Madama bets everything on Captain Danilo, as well as Bremer and Gatti. And it is precisely on the last two that Chiellini makes the point of the situation:
"I'm so happy for Bremer, I did what I had to do. I don't like comparisons, both he and Gatti have to make their own history, they have all the potential to be great defenders of Juve. In them I see so many characteristics as a strong player, they just have to be able to play and grow."
It remains to be seen if at the beginning of 2024 Juventus will acquire new elements in defense, or continue its year with Rugani as the first substitute from the bench like Gatti, as soon as Alex Sandro is available again.
THE FUTURE OF CHIELLINI
Chiellini's contract expiring in 2023 could be renewed for a few months. In the interview, however, the former Fiorentina points out that in any case, with or without the FC shirt, the choice has already been made:
"Basicly, I'm going to be here in the United States until next summer. Now I'll figure out if playing or not.But together with my family we decided to stay here anyway."
Then, in mid-2024, he will be back in Turin. At that point, rumors about a future as a Juventus executive will multiply exponentially. That is, the great desire of the Bianconeri, hoping to be able to have old flags like Del Piero or Chiellini himself in society.
