Emanuele Giaccherini played for Juventus between 2011 and 2013, joining them from Cesena as one of Italy’s top talents.
Juve were still finding their place in the Italian top flight after some setbacks in the previous decade and he was a key player.
The midfielder eventually left the club for Sunderland in the Premier League in 2013, but in one of the wiretaps, Federico Cherubini discussed him with Andrea Agnelli.
Some Juve wiretaps have been released to the public as investigators reveal more evidence they have gathered against the Bianconeri.
In this wiretap, Cherubini tells Andrea Agnelli, quoted by Il Bianconero:
“Giaccherini one day told me: ‘You know I’m fine with Juve, when we do a training session it looks like a quarter of the Champions League final'”. Thanks to c., we were 24… we had players who cost 10 million gross off the list”.
Juve FC says
We have always been one of the clubs that has maintained a high level in training and in matches, which is one of the reasons why we have remained at the top of European football.
Giaccherini was at the club when we had not yet begun to master the Italian game, but he was able to testify that the standards were high, which is a good testament to the work that goes on behind the scenes at the Allianz Stadium.
