Boniek: Juventus is not a team worthy of champions

Former Juventus forward Zbigniew Boniek believes the bianconeri are in a difficult and troubled situation. The Polish legend spoke to Radio Anch'io Sport. Boniek said that when he watches Juventus he does not see a team worthy of champions, only good players. In his view, that is exactly where the gap lies.

Boniek said the team is not at the front of the Scudetto race today, and the difficulties they have faced in Europe clearly show it. He also downplayed the 2-0 win away at Lecce. Recalling that the first goal came from a free kick and that the keeper was deceived by McKennie, he argued that the team did not dominate that match.

Boniek also could not resist commenting on Luciano Spalletti's way of speaking. The former player, who has lived in Italy for years, joked that he needed a dictionary while listening to the coach on television.

Boniek, well known in Turkey, won the Scudetto and the European Cup in his three seasons in Turin during the 1980s. However, his relationship with the club has been strained since the Calciopoli period. In 2010, a star dedicated to him at the Juventus Stadium was removed after fan reaction and a new star was given to Edgar Davids instead. Boniek said he did not want to criticise his former club, but that the episode still hurts him.
