It was a really disappointing performance and we expected much more from this team full of stars. Players such as Rabiot and Demiral have not had a chance to play yet this season. Ramsey is still recovering but might have played if it wasn’t for the forced subs due to injuries. It was a painful match to watch, and it reminded us of last year’s performance when Juventus players couldn’t complete more than two consecutive passes. Fiorentina was pressuring high and managed to steal the ball from a team that lost a bit of the fighting spirit. This could be due to Chiellini’s absence, Bonucci’s inability to guide the team as captain, and the absence of players with strong characters like Mandzukic (who will be sold soon by the looks of it).
I did not like Sarri’s excuses after the game that it was played at 3 PM (CET time) and that it was sunny. It gives guys (like “Bald Tony”) opportunities to take jabs at Juventus.
Let’s hope Juventus give their 200% against Atletico Madrid and show the world that this team can go all the way.
Fino alla fine Forza Juventus!
