Problem is that we lack leadership from the players part. Coach doesn’t help, but i guess it’s more about players turning into rebel because there’s not enough leadership around. We used to have our old core, which did not accept mediocrity. Ronaldo was the same. They were here to win, not to accept defeat. Now it’s bunch of misfits thinking they are so cool when kicking the ball and not caring about the results.
This team isn’t Juve. Nothing in this team reminds me about real Juventus. Characters, will to win, commitment etc. it’s all gone. This is great example that you can’t get too many new faces in short period of time, because the culture gets lost. There’s nothing that continues it, like no players to enforce certain rules to success. You can always educate the players about the history and show them the trophy room, but if there’s no culture it ain’t nothing but words if the daily demand and commitment ain’t there.
Sad times.
the biggest problem is the team movement, with and with out the ball. U can see big holes in that team whenever opposition attacks - when u watch Inter vs Barca for example there is no room for any progressive pass - Barca had to go on one on one. When u play Juve there are always like 2 or 3 options for progressive pass due to the team movement not beign there only.
Add to that really bad psycho-psychical preparation - our players loose most duels, because they are too late, too slow or lack determination.
Team movement is all up to the coach who cant organize them, fitness issues are also up to him and his staff, while mental aspect might be both on him and the guys responsible for players selection. We have squad for top3 easily, we have squad much better than Maccabi or even Benfica probably, but the squad is prepared really bad for the competitions it takes part in and this is all on Allegri and his staff.
Yesterday when we were trailling Allegri only plan was crosses, damn even commentators on my stream laughed at it, that its actually Maccabis coach who has much better ideas how to attack - they can cross, go through the middle etc while they basically laughed at Allegri tactics of constant crosses - especially since Maccabi changed their tactics to having three towering CBs and two CDMs who were tracking back to the penalty box to clear those crosses.
