Juventus' weak point was attack, which is why they even used Chiesa, a nominal midfielder, as a striker, and Vlahovic was not enough, the team needed a good striker, but Alegre could not get enough funding for this. They tried to sell Vlahovic, but they didn't succeed, in the end I think that this was the main reason for such an uncertain season for Juventus. Alegre built a good defense, he knows how to do it. I don’t really like how Motta is rebuilding the team yet, I want to be wrong because I like Juventus, but I doubt that Juve will have a chance to compete for the Scudetto in the new season.
Juventus' weak point was Allegri's terrible defensive tactics that suited no one in the team, and they had absolutely no build-up play whatsoever. Juventus traditionally has strong defenders, but they were always able to supplement that with quality midfielders who knew and had the freedom to play football. That wasn't the case under Allegri. Chiesa is a left winger and good as a second striker. When healthy and under the leadership of a good coach, he can contribute with around 10-12 goals a season and around double-digit assists. Looks like we won't witness what could have happened under Motta.Juventus had a pretty weak performance in the last season. Now I hope they will be able to better in this season. The last few matches that Juventus had played in the previous season was absolutely horrible. It was like it didn’t matter who they were playing against, it was like they are going to get one point from that match anyway. Of course Juventus had a lot of problems. But players getting banned and points getting deducted also did not help their cause. But past his past. And The Old Lady will have to put all of those behind them and make sure that they are able to compete for the title in the next season. Let's see how Motta approach this. But he will have to make significant changes in the squad.
Yesterday Mattia Perin said after a 3-0 defeat against Nürnberg, seems they are very optimistic with Motta this season.
