It is true that Juventus is a team that has a famous history in the world of football and I think of course even football fans know what kind of team Juventus is. However, its current performance which is quite disappointing to its fans is not strange, because there are times when all teams experience a decline in their performance, including other big teams, and of course with this decline in performance there are certainly problems which may be quite serious.

With Allegri having failed to provide the trophy that Juventus and its fans want, this has certainly become a topic of conversation among Juventus fans I hope that Juventus can soon find a suitable coach and can quickly adapt to each other to be able to play well and have strong performances.

Juventus came back in just 14 minutes. It was great to come back from 3-0 down to 3-3. It was an enjoyable match to watch, but considering the possibility of Juventus falling behind Atalanta, I think they should have fired Allegri earlier. A team that once competed for the league title with Inter should not lose so many points in a row. Moreover, they suffered these losses despite having a comfortable league fixture.

Juventus played a good game especially when the game formation was changed but I observed that Juventus is too comfortable with draw result this days, it's very obvious in the players body language in several matches that they have played draw. I know this is not the best result but it's not too bad either. It's however, sad to see the seriousness and offensive potential of Juventus at this moment when things have been damaged from the beginning of the season.

Either they retain their couch or change couch, there is serous work to be done on the defense part of the squad because it was a total embarrassing today just like some other days with their heads completely lost. As it is now, their fourth position is very threatened because Atalanta who is below with just two points have an outstanding game and that would definitely send Juventus back to fith position if Atalanta win their match. It's not just about qualifying for the champions league but it's about how they are not able to maintain their position on the league table and keep depreciating in performance.

That's football for you. Never say never until it's over but I'm a bit disappointed in Juventus because they let a team like Bologna get three goals before they could realize their mistakes. Honestly, the hosts played Juventus like they were a group of school boys with their first shot at senior football, they didn't have any structure or confidence. Their defense line was weak, attack was struggling and because of their desperation to make something out of the night, they ended up conceding more fouls than the hosts.
 Another sad part is that despite bringing the game to a draw, they still couldn't pass Bologna who are on top of them at 2nd place with goal difference. What can I say is their reason for playing so poorly? Is it the coach that lacked tactical formation or the players who couldn't just get their acts right?

Yes, that what they should do because opportunities like this are really wanted by all team and they are lucky with what Serie A has got this season, if Atalanta wastes good opportunity like this then it will be very detrimental.
Only 3 points behind and what they can do is win the remaining games, if they can't win, at least they have to be able to get draw, I sure Roma will try to get win and catch Atalanta.
Even though if they manage to qualify and enter the UCL, they won't last long or it could be said that they might just be eliminated sooner, but at least Atalanta has proven that they are strong enough team and are able to compete in UCL group stage.

For the European League itself, I would not expect anything from Atalanta to win the final match, the opponent is Leverkusen and this is team that has not been defeated, it is impossible for Atalanta to win this match.

Fiorentina may push a little, but I think they will win against Torino. Atalanta is an important team and it can be said that they had a successful year this year. Their ranking in the league is also considered successful because they play in a competitive league. Being in the top 5 in a league with many strong teams and playing in the UEL finals shows that they can be considered successful.

The management of Juventus are experienced and understanding people. It would be inhuman to sack a coach who stayed with the club all through its point-reduction problems. Allegri hasld some good offers from some clubs both in Europe and Saudi Arabia but he decided to take the risk with Juventus. The club had to give him some time to improve the club's performance. Since he couldn't, it is obvious that he doesn't deserve to remain in the club.

Juventus is a club that has a renowned history. It is always competitive in both the local league and the Champions League. So it is normal for the fans to be concerned about the recent poor performance. Allegri couldn't give them what they wanted which was trophies and glory. Some good coaches are in the market currently and I hope they will take their time to search and get a suitable coach for the club.

Paolo Montero was once a Juventus player and he has won many awards with Juventus in his time. He was no doubt a Juventus player, but this season is different, he is no longer a player and he has decided to become a coach, but he doesn't really have much experience coaching a club and Currently he has been appointed by Juventus to be interim coach until the end of the season while looking at developments that will occur at the Juventus club in the future. If he shows good development, maybe he will be contracted by Juventus as club manager and not just temporarily, maybe for one season. I'm also curious what efforts will Paolo Montero make.

It's true that Juventus usually prefers to sign coaches who have a lot of experience in big competitions, but I think Juventus could try new things like Leverkusen who chose a coach like Xabi Alonso even though we know this coach didn't have much experience in the managerial field before, but since Xabi Alonso Coaching Leverkusen over time, the club experienced significant improvement and can now become champions in the Bundesliga thanks to Xabi Alonso's intelligence.

Their chance for Roma will come from Europa League final match, not from Serie A matches.

If Atalanta win against Leverkusen, they will be appointed a spot to Champions League as a Europe League champion. Their spot in Serie A will be passed to Roma even Roma will finish this season at the sixth position.

It is more interesting about Serie A clubs if Fiorentina win the Conference League, they will be appointed a spot to Europa League and a club at the ninth position will be able to join Conference League.

This means, in summary, if both Atalanta and Fiorentina win Europa League and Conference League, Serie A will have 9 clubs in Europe tournaments next season.

How Italy can have nine teams in Europe next season

Bologna made a big mess in the game against Juventus who we all thought would maintain that number 2 spot on the table since Inter Milan won the league base on a large number of points but they (Juve) couldn't keep up with the pressure from the teams who are behind them and now they find themselves in a very tight corner which means if Atalanta get a win against Fiorentina they (Juventus) will be dropping out of the top 4 on the log.
Bologna played better last night with a 2 goal lead at half time but in the second half they allowed the old ladies to gain control and ended the game in a draw, it wasn't an impressive display from host and I had it in mind that Juventus can't get a win and if this continues I don't see Juventus performing well next season, but let's see what would happen in their last game of the season.

Allegri should have been fired from Juventus a long time ago, especially after Agnelli left. And Juventus are waiting for the moment when they are not to blame for Allegri's dismissal. Now that the coveted spot in the UCL League has been obtained, the Copa Italia Trophy has also been obtained to satisfy Juventus fans. And "coincidentally" Allegri also acted up, so there was a reason for Juventus to fire him.

Many Juventus fans have disliked him since he returned to Juventus. Now is the time for Juventus to change coaches so that there will be a change in the Juventus Team's playing strategy. because when Juventus was coached by Allegri, their playing style was monotonous, the strategy that Allegri implemented didn't really need attacking type players, only strong defensive type players were enough, that's why sharp stickers couldn't develop at Juventus while being coached by Allegri. I hope the next coach can bring glory starting by reviving Lo Spirito, so that next season Serie A will be even more competitive.

I do not think there is actually any chance for Roma. First of all, they will have to win the match that they have left with a big goal difference. Secondly, Atalanta will have to lose both of the matches that they have left by a big goal difference in both of them. And I think all of those things are definitely not going to happen. Even if Roma is able to win the next match and Atalanta somehow manages to actually lose the two matches that they have left, I still think that Roma is going to be behind because of bad goal difference. I just do not believe that Atalanta will not be able to take even 1 win of the matches that they have left. And both of those matches are against mid-table opponents, Torino and Fiorentina.

It's true, Mourinho's trail has been very long and full of victories. Maybe the players at Roma don't really respect Mourinho so instead of having to continue this and it becomes an internal problem that can threaten the performance of every player from Roma, there is no other choice. apart from changing the Roma coach to Daniele De Rossi.. Each coach has his own characteristics and different achievements. Hopefully Daniele De Rossi can become a great coach and bring Roma to victory in every match they face.

Yep. In the second half of the match, it seems Bologna turned to play not as aggressive as in the first half. You're right, they may assume that they already won the match because they were leading with many goals (3 goals). Unfortunately, it makes Juventus to have more opportunities to score goals. Juventus didn't miss the opportunities, they equalize the score and forced Bologna to end the match with a draw result. It was a great come-back done by Juventus players. But it is not enough to overtake the position of Bologna in the 3rd place.  

Indeed. There are 5 teams from Serie A to play in UCL for the next season. Inter, Milan, Bologna, Juventus, and Atalanta are safe to finish the season in UCL zone. Since there is 1 match only before the end of the season, there will be no change of the top 5 in Serie A table. AS Roma seems to have no chance to chase Atalanta because Atalanta probably will secure 3 points in the match against Torino. 1 more win is enough to secure Atalanta position in UCL zone.

Anyway, it is true that Serie A is lucky to have 5 spots in UCL. The new UCL rule benefits the teams from Serie A and the Bundesliga this season.

It is true, the tactics and strategy for selecting players as starters have quite an influence on the results, these are various considerations that must be considered before determining who will play as a starter and join the bench. because, sometimes we speculate that just a few certain games are enough when competing against smaller clubs, but sometimes it will be quite surprising because there are times when the conditions are quite different and we are not as ready. Sometimes, the influence of one key player in the club is very big and becomes quite lame when he is not in the squad, especially at a club that is not yet stable and consistently more solid.

They really thought that their position was very safe, because they were 3 goals ahead. In fact, they were quite confident about this victory. Several players have also been withdrawn and replaced. And this was quite a fatal mistake, because their opposing team was Juventus. Even though Juventus' recent performance has been quite bad, even very disappointing, that doesn't mean they are a club that can be underestimated. Because as long as the whistle has not ended, there are still gaps and opportunities for clubs like Juventus to respond. And at that time, Juventus really had an opportunity for that, and Bologna really took that opportunity well. So, it's quite surprising for Bologna, of course, because from 3 - 0 to 3 - 3.

Juventus magically equalized the goals and dragged the match to a 3-3 ending. Even though I expected a win from Juventus, I must commend them for being able to come from a 3-0 down to make the match even with Bologna. The strange thing is that as at the 75th minutes the match was still 3-0  before Federico Chiesa scored his 76th followed by Arkadiusz Milik at the 83rd minute before Yenan Kildiz wrapped it up just within a minute interval. What I found interesting is their fighting spirit, perhaps Paulo Montero will be able to instill this in the players if he must evade the same fate that their last coach Massimiliano Allegri met. I look forward to seeing a better Juventus next season because they have really gone down in terms of rating.

I never expected a draw in the match either, I blame Bologna for being too relaxed with just three goals and I commend Juventus for trying to draw the match. This is sign that next season will be a tough season in the Seria A because if Juventus will recover fully and add more players to their squad they will be title contenders and with this effort teams like Bologna and Atalanta were making, they will also give it a try next season to see if they can perform well just as Leverkusen did in the German Bundesliga.

A potentially costly mistake for Bologna, but as good as this comeback sounds at first glance, this draw could cost Juventus the Champions League qualification. Take into account that Atalanta now has an unbelievable chance to leave Bologna and Juventus behind. What the heck is going on in Serie A. Looking back like 2 or 3 months, Juventus Turin was safe and nobody doubted they would get the qualification. Now it is all on the fence for them.

It would be the biggest nightmare for Juventus if Atalanta wins that game and by the way, Atalanta has two games at home now. It could now end in a catastrophe if Bologna wins the game against Genoa and Atalanta is not giving away any points in those two games. Unbelievable that Juventus would end up in the Europa League after a season without any games on European stages. Worst times for them ever.

Bologna underestimated Juventus in the second half and paid for that. How could they accept 3 goals to be scored in less than 10 minutes! Juventus isn't a threat to any team in Serie A from a long period now.. They are lucky there will be 5 teams from Serie A to go to the new version of UEFA Champions League, otherwise I start to doubt if they could end 4th or not..

Great match Bologna vs Juventus... I believed in Bologna, but I had no doubt that they would not lose... Juventus combe back must have surprised everyone... Nobody expected them to equalise in the second half in such a desperate situation... But this match once again showed that in football there are often surprises... Now I wonder what Atalanta will be able to do after the Europa League final...
