In the second half of this season, Juventus' performance surprisingly dropped drastically and I don't think there was a problem with their players being injured or not because since the start of the season Juventus had been experiencing such problems but their performance was fine, only in the second half of the season their performance dropped. drastic.
I think this is due to a lack of motivation in the Juventus team after they were unable to compete fiercely with Inter Milan in the race for the Scudetto this season.
What Thiago Motta showed with Bologna was quite surprising, they have had a fairly consistent performance since the start of the season.
If you look at the current competition, Juventus is the least favorite to finish in the top 4 with competition from Bologna and also AS Roma.
The decline in Juventus' performance is beyond all of our expectations, because initially Juventus was able to provide a fairly tight resistance to Intermilan in the standings, but slowly in the middle of the season they continued to regress which made Intermilan quite safe running alone in the league without any pressure from Juventus, even the peak of the decline that occurred in Juventus is now where they continue to lose points in important matches and actually make them Must be thrown out of the runner up position as it is today.
I think the match against Lazio will at least be the beginning of Juventus' revival to be able to regain the runner up position from Milan, but if that fails maybe we will see Juventus knocked out of the top 4, especially if indeed Allegri does not immediately improve Juventus' game performance, I think the loss of winning mentality possessed by Juventus is currently the main cause besides some injured players, The possibility of Juventus being knocked out of the top 4 could happen, because so far Bologna and Roma have begun to be quite consistent in winning every game, so with 9 games left at this time, of course, all possibilities can happen until the end of the season.
