Another defeat for Juventus in the preaseason games.
This time was against Atletico de Madrid.
Juventus is far away to be completed, they have only 17 players in the current situation, they have no back up strikers.
They still need to buy at-least 4 players.
Gonna be an hard task for Thiago Motta.
Motta is still trying to put things back in place in the team. He is trying to get to know the team but Juventus' performance in the friendly matches has not been encouraging. They lost 3-0 to Nuremberg, drew 2-2 with Brest and now lost 2-0 to Atletico Madrid. If they continue like this, the Scudetto in Serie A will only remain a dream. They need to solve the problem urgently. They experienced too much pain last year and they need to work hard to prevent a repeat.
I have been saying that the Juventus management has made successive mistakes, they shouldn't have hired Allegri, they knew about Allegri's style of play, but they still hired Allegri, for this season that will start this month, they made the same mistake again, they hired Thiago Motta who has a style of play very similar to Allegri's style of play, to make matters worse the Juventus squad hasn't changed much, but the management knew that Allegri's squad wasn't good enough to win Serie A, yet this season the squad hasn't changed much
This was the Juventus squad that played against Milan last season:This was the Juventus squad that was used in the friendly match against Atletico Madrid:In the attack, for example, I see that they are still very weak, they do not choose great attackers, and the consequence of this can be seen in the results of these friendly matches:
3 games, 0 wins,
2 goals scored,
7 goals conceded.
One of Alegri's good traits is that he was good at defending, the same happened with Motta at Bologna, but even in defense Juventus are not doing well. I very much doubt that Juventus will be able to win Serie A and they will not get far in European competitions.
