Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

A classic problem of Juventus. They're strong in defense, but very damn poor in attack. And I'm still pissed we could not win the game against Cagliari. And i think our manager, Motta's rotation in the midfield was hurting the team a lot in our frontline. Our defense has been fairly stable with this tactic. We played 4 backs, and it makes our defense very solid.

But, I'm very concerned about our striker's embarrassing performance. They poorly executed the ball and often dived. It was shameful to watch. I think our striker, Dusan, is finished.

It's always painful to watch our strikers miss a lot of chances in any games.

That's not true, i dont agree. It's not a classic Juventus problem, i want like to remind you when we had Del Piero and Zidane if it was the same thing
For some years past Juventus has not invested in talents, but has invested in players that it can resell to make money, example? Cristiano Ronaldo
And as a fan, saying this makes my heart cry but it's the pure truth

Juventus once dominated Serie A with no club able to match the quality of its squad, after the changing of generations, its toughness began to diminish and it struggles to win the Scudetto. They once dominated Serie A for 9 seasons, from 2011/12 to 2019/20. But after changing their identity from a team that invested in long-term talent to one that prioritized money, they began to struggle to compete with their rivals. The draw from Cagliari was very disappointing for their fans, they should have won the match if they had been able to play disciplined until the end of the match.

Essentially, it can be mentioned that Juventus must redefine its policy from the view of a transfer for a more sustainable one. The club has to use data science to assess potential and attitude of the youth players to tailor them to fit the playing style of the team. Through analysing the recruitment process, Juventus can obtain the highest value players who would be capable of improving in the long run instead of purchasing high profile talents. Besides, one should not neglect internal player acquisition through the academy, because it gives more reliable under pinning and a succession of consistency in the quality of the team.

On the tactical level it is also necessary to focus on the emergence of the modern type of play, which is more mobile at Juve. The set up of defense and changes in the movement in a game has to be stronger especially when the opponents employ a safe play or high energy. Formation changes during the match and correct places of players’ substitution during the game, will prevent the team from getting tire and keep the concentration all season long. FC Juventus also observed low tendency in ball possession and more over finishing touches since several match ended in less than a best result due to negligence at important stages.
