squad is bad, circumstances are straight out terrible, the worst ever for juventus. so he should get some credit to keep the squad more or less focused and making fun of idiotic journalists
but the matches, man... this is easily the slowest, most passive juventus i can remember since the late '80s. we can't realistically expect us to win any match while we're so reactive, timid and clueless around the opposition box. that poor fucker iling tried to cross like a dozen times when he looked up and saw zero team mates around. the return leg is a must win game, and i bet we'll play the same match: sit back, hope for some counter opportunities, don't even try to gain possession, and only attack (that's a bit of a stretch, let's call it 'play higher') when the time runs out
funny thing is that we manage to get the worst out of our tactics: we can easily get countered while we are unable to show up and make passes in the opposition box. so we don't play high enough to attack, but still play too high cause we get countered, right? what a fucking paradox, jj 2023 makes zero sense
save for rare occasions like the lazio home game or the wins vs inda & atalanta, i hate to watch this team, the ultimate frustration
