Based on this evidence, we are likely seeing the fruits of a more attacking setup and hopefully the results (in terms of goals scored) will keep increasing with time. Transitioning to a drastically different style takes a lot of time and work and we don’t believe that Juve are anywhere near their peak potential under Sarri yet. This transition has also occurred in conjunction with major injuries and the addition of multiple new key players to the squad. In spite of all this, the team has managed to finish the mid-season top of the table and progressed to the Champions League Round of 16 as group winners – while playing half-decent football (both statistically and, arguably, visually). We think there’s much to be thankful for and much to look forward to in the remaining half of the season. Forza Juve!

Good stuff! Sarri ftw!
