L ' former Juventus defender Fabio Cannavaro, currently in force at Al-Ahli of Dubai, has issued a long and interesting interview to Sky Sport 24. TuttoJuve.com has transcribed in full.
Are you sure the choice of coming to Dubai? I saw this place, I think it is useless to you this question ... "Yes, I think it is useless anyway because I ended up well, in a place where life is good, where everything works, where quality of life is high. I had never been to Dubai when I signed I did not know anything about Dubai, and even my team. I wanted to do something different, I wanted to go abroad again and pull a little 'plug all the pressure from Italian. "You have a year contract. And then?" I have a contract for this 'year, even more so for a year. Then I do not know. After we'll see. I'll talk to the company. I still have a contract with Juventus by the executive. I will consider calmly. I have two years to be able to think. "You said that you have a contract with Juventus by the executive. This - remember - is still valid?" Yes, yes, that's good. "So if you decide, you are automatically a manager of Juventus ... "Yes, I do not know in what capacity, but still I have this contract with Juventus which we did last year. Again, I'm calm now and I enjoy this place." Note that this is your house, we have chosen the most beautiful beach in Dubai ... "Yes, luck is that I have the house, the beach and the sea are now." Tell us about your typical day here in Dubai? "Apart from the morning I go to English school. Then I get home, I eat, I'm a bit 'on the beach, the children come and after the usual life training here .... there are lots of things to do, because Dubai gives you so much. Of course when it's hot, until September, is much more difficult. But from September May is fantastic. "at Al-Ahli you have chosen as their symbol and captain. How can you convince other great players to come and play here?" It depends on what you want. This is an experience where you do not have the stress of European football, there is a lot more respect for life outside of football. Who wants to come here, surely, must have patience, because the European clubs over here things are certainly different. "In a year and the other should do the budgets. Tell us about your 2010? What made you happy and what no. And what do you expect in 2011 ... "In 2010, of course, the disappointment of the World Cup was important, because we know the importance of the World Cup. We knew we could not win, but we expected at least to do some more game. The bad thing is that we went out in the first round, crashed. And I was disappointed that someone has enjoyed most of our exit from the World Cup in South Africa to victory in Berlin. "You have a name?" No, there are many. "Will not you make one?" No, no, it is the environment , after what I felt ... I felt like such as ... "Man, have enjoyed more now than in 2006." About the World, how long does it take to forget? How long will it be? "No, I think what is behind us, especially for players who took part. The World Cup is an opportunity for all, which happens every four years. Not everyone has the opportunity to do so. Surely it was an expedition to forget. Now there's a new coach, new assistant coach, are preparing for 2012, is doing pretty well, so we can rest easy. "You can rebuild in a short time?" In the short time I do not know, because there is still to work, young people need to take new ones, need to have confidence in a movement that at this time, slowly, is trying to come out. "The Italian football, seen here, as it is?" The thing strange, talking with the locals, is that here the following far more than English and English football, yet when there are Inter and AC Milan crazy. We, in my opinion, not promote it very well, so you should advertise it a bit 'more. It 's true that it is not at the levels of four to five years ago, but the Italian football remains an important football. "You know the formula to get out of this impasse?" The formula? I have no formula, but surely the Federation is trying to change, presidents will have to change, players will have to change, because I think next year we will not have four teams in the Champions League. So this is yet another signal '. It is a question of mentality? "It' s a question of mentality, is a question of sport education is a matter of routine. I think Juventus is the first company to have a stage and this is already an important step. But it is only a little, just because you put your foot out of Italy, you realize that all stages are the most beautiful of us. "Behind you see so much blue and I remember the blue of Naples. You turn the boxes for not being treated well? remember that De Laurentiis had said you were old to return to Naples ... "No, but I respect the choices of the President, because the end is what you pay and then can easily do it all. It was my desire, not only last year, even before, but it was not possible. Now I have come here to do this new experience, are always Napoli fan and I'm obviously a good luck to the team because he is doing well. "The championship is a dream of the moment or it can really become something more than a dream? Napoli can really think of winning the Scudetto?" I do not know. If you look on paper is certainly very complicated, but at this moment the camp is saying that they run more than others, they win, have fun and are still in the cups. Now, Naples is one of the fittest teams in the league. You have to see the long term. "The favorite to date is ..." Today is Milan, no doubt. And 'because AC Milan, despite having taken Ibrahimovic, an extraordinary player, have the experience and the desire to win, maybe Teams like Inter have not. "Milan, in addition to Ibrahimovic, also took Cassano. He has always maintained that the great old saying in the locker room not to convene Lippi ..." This is not true, because the coach does not need advice from anyone. "What do you think of Cassano to Milan?" Antonio, I saw the other day and I saw very seriously. Antonio is certainly an asset to our football. He has to find his balance, he must try to express its value not only within but also outside of the field. It 's a boy who loses his temper at times and unfortunately it is a sin. "But who's wrong now? He or who should manage it?" He, he, he. I've always said that he has thrown .... or rather, not thrown, because it still has the time to do great things, but when one has the chance to play at Real Madrid and not exploit it is a sin. Now it has another in Milan and hope go well. "But as regards the Inter arrived Leonardo. Nobody expected this choice. As you saw?" It 's certainly a brave choice because Leonardo is one that Milan has always been in the environment, well aware of the environment Milan, less than Inter. Leonardo, however, has the calm, it was a great player, he only did one year as a coach, but it can certainly do well at Inter because they have a very strong team. " At one point there was talk of Capello. You thought for a moment that could get him at Inter? "No, because Capello is training in England. For him it's very exciting and it was what he wanted to do. So I do not think it would come back." Before we tell you that you have a contract manager of Juventus. About Juve: How long does it take to rebuild? To return to what were you ... "There is work. The important thing is that environment-found confidence. I read the newspapers, I read the Internet and certainly compared to last year there is a lot more confidence, there's much more consideration, there much more patience. This is because they have been good The chairman, director and coach. Of course now they are out of the cup and have to put everything on the championship. Have the time and strength to do so. "Have you ever thought of one last game with the national team?" No, no, not now, because I've done enough. Make one more would not make sense. For me, the National was something extraordinary. I made lots of matches, Under-21 first team, won two Under-21 titles, won the World Cup, I made a final European Championship, and the feeling with the national team has a feeling important. "I ask why there are two pictures of you that tell the story recently in the National: the cup and raised to the sky with the head Low in the stadium tunnel after the last game of the World Cup in South Africa. Are you sure that this is the last picture? "I think that that image does not erase the good things we did before. 2006 remains something extraordinary, in 2010 after there were other players. The coach was the same, but the team was much changed. Experience it went wrong, but I want to remember more than in 2006 than that of 2010. "
