And Higuain was not extremely fit still was able to score goals.
Higuain joined at the peak of his career and development there was nothing new for him to learn and he still struggled to replicate his Napoli form in our style of football. But like Ronaldo he was already fully developed as a player so he managed to find his own ways to get goals in a generally better Juve too.
Hiring Dusan is like hiring a very high potential entry level employee and then demanding he performs like a senior without giving him any coaching or mentoring. Higuain and Ronaldo were the equivalents of poaching a senior employee from another big company into yours.
l saw a short clip the other day from Pep talking about the entourage that’s working on Halaand 24/7 to optimize his fitness and performance. He said Halaand works very hard and is very disciplined but there’s a whole entourage that are analyzing and optimizing everything he does 24/7.
Edit: found it (below). You think Dusan or any of our players get anything like that? Allegri himself says he doesn’t watch much past videos and uses just his instincts.
