Supercoppa/Coppa Italia 20/21

Genoa keeper with a good game.

 

Again we have to score 5 goals to get 3....

 

We still keep giving up a record amount of goals...this team defense is in shambles and unable to keep a clean sheet...time to make some defensive moves to replace chiellini and Bonucci.

 

And yet we are tied for the best Goals Against in the league.

I think with this new era we may have to adjust our views on defensive prowess. No one is playing defense like classic Italian defenses anymore.

And our midfield is still not closing players down like they need to. That is partly lack of quality and also tactical as we are pressing all over the field which can result in a poor defensive shape when we lose the ball or go for an interception and miss.

Also, more teams are attacking us this year than ever before. Even lower level teams are doing it. We look a lot more vulnerable to teams that come to play us than ones who park the bus.

 

These two things are the main reasons. All of the top teams are giving up goals now more than ever. Bayern are giving up goals to any and everybody, Liverpool had 7 put past them by Aston Villa, Man City shipped 5 against Leicester City, Barca gave up 3 to us and 3 to Atletic Bilbao.

IMO, the game has changed a lot and those are the teams that are winning not just domestically, but continental/internationally. With that said, teams seem to cut through our press quite easily with the eye test. However, I believe I saw that we statistically, press effectively.

 

Down to 2 forwards.

 

Let's hope it won't be a quick red for him

 

So he is persisting with Bentancur. Think that’s a bad move. What’s the betting he gets a card in the first 45 mins.

 

Hoping for a strong showing from the boys and Pirlo grabbing his first trophy as the mister!

fino alla fine, forza Juve!

 

At least they appear to be playing with more urgency that we saw from them this past weekend.

 

Bernadeschi is on. O dear!
