Juventus could celebrate its return to the elite of international tournaments, after years of journey in the desert. The clear 0-5 to a poor Ain would be sufficient reason to appear on the covers, but the 'bianconeri' appear in the front page of all US news for reasons very different from those of their debut in the Club World Cup. The Italian team visited the White House and its components were figures of a conversation by Donald Trump for the conflict between Israel and Iran.
“The president of the game is a great friend”
“I love receiving this visit, Juventus is a great example and its president is a great friend,” said the top president of a country that Gianni Infantino, president of FIFA, has delivered world football in the coming years. Not only for a tournament created for greater glory of the Swiss leader, Also for the 2026 World Cup and the intention that the Club Tournament also returns to North American Soilas the Brazilian press advanced.
A bet that is pure business, because the 'soccer' is still not, as demonstrates the life of the tournament's headquarters, a sport with sufficient roots. Who did Trump referred to as his 'great friend' of Juventus? The president of Juventus is Gianluca Ferrero, executive designated by Exor, the Holding of the Agnelli family, with which Trump has a good relationship, because, in turn, they are owners of FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles), one of the great consortiums of the important automotive industry of the country.
The visit of Juventus, with Infantino as a companion, was a protocol act within the framework of a Club World Cup that, despite the millionaire rewards, is generating a secondary interest in its group stage. Not even the announcement of the 'Sold Out' of Real Madrid – Al Hilal corresponded to a 100% full stadium. It was much more difficult for the Italian team staff than their later match, because they had to answer uncomfortable questions.
Trump: “Could a woman be part of Juventus?”
Because out of nowhere, the institutional act became a press conference about the conflict of Israel and Iran. “It is interesting because I asked Tucker, an expressionist of the Fox 'do you agree that I will have nuclear weapons?' But in reality it is not well for him. “The players trained by Igor Tudor did not understand anything.
Even less when Trump alluded directly by a controversial issue. “Could a woman be part of her team? Tell me. What do you think?” Asks the president Timothy Weah, American Juventus player, who replied: “We have a female team.” The president was not satisfied with the answer: “But they should play with other women, right? You know, one of those things. Come, they are very diplomatic. “
Luckily, the match against Al Ain was much easier, which began with a goal from Kolo Muani, who would end up getting a double, such as Conceiçao, to which the Turk and Nildiz joined. The best news for the Italian team, which makes a group leader ahead of Manchester City. From that powers of powers will come out of Real Madrid's rival in eighths, as long as he fulfills his duty. There will not be as much diplomacy as in a surreal visit to the White House that ended up anticipating a 'God Bless Juventus'.
