I think Juventus is having a hard time in their attacking line. Because there is no trace of Juventus, who had no trouble scoring goals in the Italian league. I think they are having a bit more difficulty scoring goals this year. However, the defense is very good and they are doing their job very well. That's why a few reinforcements from the attacking line are a must in the mid-season transfer period.
Juventus have problems in attacking system this season at least in early of the season. They need to improve it, score more goals that are necessary for them to win matches. Good defense can only help them to avoid defeats but they can not rely on good defense and mistakes of opponents in own goals for winning matches. They must score more goals to win matches by their own attempts because depending on opponents' own goals in every match is unrealistic, and it's not what a league champion need to have.

When Conte was appointed as the head coach of Napoli, I trusted his coaching abilities to restore the performance of Napoli following his previous works in the teams he has coached on the past but I was shocked when he decided to choose Lukaku ahead of Victor Osimhen when Osimhen is in a better form and younger than Lukaku but currently his choice of players is already working for him and there is a big improvement in the team.
Conte succeeded to convince Lukaku joining Napoli and he is good of using this striker so that he replaced Osimhen by Lukaku without big troubles.  Conte with his fighting style is motivating Napoli players and helping them to play better than the last season. It seems their players find new motivational targets for fighting in this season with Conte. With good performances from Lukaku, they can forget about Osimhen but it's fair to say this player belongs to their club history and hall of fame with a Scudetto two seasons ago.
