Christian Vieri and Antonio Cassano defend Andrea Pirlo and the former Roma striker says Napoli’s Diego Demme is a ‘little Kante.’
Pirlo is under fire after Juventus’ 1-0 defeat against Benevento in Turin.
“Juventus are not doing well, for so many reasons,” said Vieri during 'Bobo TV' on Twitch.
“Next season I would stick with Pirlo without thinking twice. Juventus have been eliminated from the Champions League, and they are not going so well in Serie A.
“However, after nine titles in a row, it can happen not to win. Juventus are missing 20 goals from Paulo Dybala, he is not a regular player, he is a champion. Juventus have young players, but it takes time.”
Cassano shares the same view.
“The future depends on what Ronaldo, Bonucci, Chiellini and Buffon will do. The responsibility for this situation is down to the club,” the former Roma striker said.
“Pirlo has little responsibility. Last season, Juventus sacked the coach who had played the best football in Italy, but he had a problem, and it was Ronaldo.
“Pirlo wants to play good football, but Ronaldo is a problem for him too. Ronaldo only thinks about his records. He is not the same player he used to be four years ago.
“Pirlo has just begun his coaching career. You can’t give him the responsibility to coach a player like Ronaldo.”
Cassano did also comment on Napoli and Gennaro Gattuso.
“If I were De Laurentiis, I would keep hold of Gattuso. He is doing an exceptional job. If he had won the Super Cup, he’d be a hero.
“They’ve never lost with Demme on the pitch. He is a little Kante.”

Cassano must be on some drugs or he might suffer of split personality. One day he speaks bad about Ronaldo, then good, then bad again. Ronaldo is a lot more mature and he no longer care about records, the records will get broken soon or later, no matter what. Looking at these pictures do you really believe he is upset because he didn’t break I don’t know which record, or because his team killed all hopes for the Scudetto? Blaming a forward for team overall performance shows lack of brain. So you telling me that everyone forgot how to play football because Ronaldo is in the team? How tf that makes any sense. Ronaldo didn’t limit anyone else from scoring, but he was the only one who picked up all bad passes and yes he failed to score, but who else was in better position? Nobody! Eveyone praise Chiese and Morata when they score, but when nobody score only Ronaldo gets the blame, stupid haters, grow up and learn something about football or go and watch cricket.
