With the impeccable expulsion of Square in Juventus-Fiorentina, they rise to the height 5 the ‘reds’ against the bianconeri in these first 13 league games. There are too many, too many.
Without some at least questionable decisions, this is a fact to ponder.
An interesting interpretation is linked to the aggressiveness and almost obsessive ferocity of the immediate search to recover the ball as soon as possession is lost. In fact, Pirlo seems to insist on this aspect, so much so that it creates some obvious difficulties for some players, especially those used in recent years to simply worry about repositioning themselves in the best possible way to avoid problems, thus favoring the tactical aspect. This is a real mindset shift that, to date, seems far from a positive end.
Another aspect to pay attention to is the purely tactical. The area of the field in which many of these fouls are committed that lead to yellow cards and expulsions is striking. Very often they are committed in non-hazardous field areas (Square yesterday with Fiorentina, church in Crotone) or in situations of non-serious danger such as, for example, the second yellow to Rabiot against Rome.
In the global calculation, it is also necessary to record the expulsions for protests of Morata in Benevento and Pinsoglio in the derby won at the end with Turin. It is true that these two expulsions did not affect the course of the game, given that the Spanish was sent off at the end of the game and Pinsoglio directly from the bench, but they are two alarms that sound the same: this team lives with too much electricity. , always on the edge of tension, as if to bear witness to the need to have and to want to continue winning.
It is clear that Pirlo is trying to rejuvenate this team also from the point of view of temperament, but it is equally clear that Juve are having a difficult time adapting physically to this new type of football. The feeling is that some element is particularly struggling to immerse themselves in this new mentality and in this new football proposal that provides for greater aggressiveness in the opposite field.
Only 3 months have passed since the start of the new season, but also in this matter it is necessary to measure the progress of Juve in the coming months.
It is also necessary to advance on a psychological and character level, to polish these aspects that in the long run can have a negative impact, especially in the decisive moments of the season and in matches from inside or outside. Hoping to play a lot of games like that.
