Dear friends and dear friends of Tuttosport,
the Juventus of Andrea PirloSo far, it has carried out eleven collective trainings. Under normal conditions, the first serious friendly is played at this point to verify the level of understanding and application of the new tactical ideas. In football at the time of Covid, Andrea Pirlo’s Juventus has already played two league games, providing different and sometimes even contradictory impressions. Like the first summer friendlies for a team that has changed coaches, tactical projects and many key players. Therefore, great prudence in the trials is essential, and the analysis of yesterday’s performance in Rome must take these factors into account.
Last night at the Olimpico, Pirlo certainly allowed himself some training hazards. And he paid for it. Square on the left, he doesn’t bite the game, he’s less insightful and productive, while still being diligent. Kulusevski Largo has struggled – strange, it’s the role he played in Parma, but he probably had fewer men lined up in front of him and in any case he had impromptu but remarkable ideas. Morata He was in his first game after three serious training sessions with the team: let’s say he understood that it was his with the black and white stripes, but there is work to be done for the rest, based on the agreement with Ronaldo (yesterday we saw trampled feet).
But it’s not just the fault of an experimental training (a friendly one, in fact). There was also a less concentrated application of transitions, so the defense was too often exposed to the Romanist counterattack, which, moreover, was spread in a very well-organized way. Roma’s second goal cries out for revenge for the team’s positioning, which had just reached a draw and had to manage the last seconds of the first half. McKennie, Ramsey me Kulusevski They are among the main defendants in that action, but overall the team was poorly positioned. But let’s go back to the previous speech: it is a fairly typical mistake of the first pitches of a renewed team in the tactical project and in many key men.
But individuals are strong and motivated: Kulusevski has enormous talent, Morata must acclimatize and guarantees its contribution, Dybala He is about to recover (already because this team also has Dybala) and perhaps during the week there will also be a winger. perhaps McKennie it shone much less than Juventus-Sampdoria and attracted ungenerous critical judgments. He has to be tried for three months, now we risk a roller coaster. Rabiot He was having a bad day: he missed it, from the excess of loose balls to the nervousness, to the lack of clarity in the handling of possession. The vote in favor of the performance should be fairly severe, but a bad night can not compromise the positive judgment that was beginning to form about him. Insurance, Bentancur on the bench it is a luxury that Juventus may not be able to afford and here we return to the training options, which perhaps for Pirlo also had the value of the tests.
That said, the Juventus pays for the boredom of the nine League titles that incite criticism (and who knows perhaps many of its fans too), pushing them to harsh trials in careful search for signs of the empire’s impending collapse. It may be that this is the year that Juventus will stop the championship series, but saying so now, after two games, has no technical value: it is guesswork, not critical. Pirlo still has a lot of work to do, but he starts from an important premise: the renewed and strengthened team spirit. The fact that at the critical moment (under one goal and with one man less), the team found the strength to equalize, and then also seek the winning goal is a sign in stark contrast to last year, when struggling Juventus dissolved.
RonaldoIn fact, he is excited about the new course and has spent important words late in the game. Important because CR7 In addition to being an extraordinary player, he is the largest communications company in the world of football, so when he speaks it is never by chance and the words he uses are not random. The enthusiastic support he gave to Pirlo and his project is significant (“With this collective spirit we will be stronger than ever. With Pirlo the team is happier») The rest will have to arrive: (the organization, the distances, the contract): it will be Pirlo’s job and it will be the field on which Juventus will play this season.
