Yesterday Mattia Perin said after a 3-0 defeat against Nürnberg, seems they are very optimistic with Motta this season.
Yesterday's match is not and should not be considered as a measure of quality of the team. Juventus has just started their pre-season training and one part of their team hasn't even returned from their holidays yet. They have a lot of work in front of them. Nurnberg is the exact opposite. They have finished their preparations, and their season in the 2. Bundesliga begins next weekend. It's only normal that they will have much better match fitness. Juve played the match with many youngsters, some of which won't stay at the club and others who will feature for the youth teams.
But, even though the match cannot be used as a benchmark for Juventus performance for next season, at least Juventus must also be able to score a goal at least to reduce the defeat or maybe just one goal is not a problem. Because after all, in reality Juventus also got a penalty kick in the second half, and Vlahovic took the kick but unfortunately, Vlahovic also failed to score a goal even though it also happened through a penalty kick.
With this result, although it cannot be used as a full benchmark, but I think with a 3-0 defeat it will certainly be very worrying for Juventus next season. Because after all, Nurnberg is also only a team playing in the 2.Bundesliga and even, last season Nurnberg only finished in 12th position. With these factors, I personally might have doubts about Juventus for next season. But yes, hopefully those doubts will not come true, because previously I also really expected Thiago Motta to be successful with Juventus.
