On the Juventus-Atlético de Madrid 3-0 matchday, nobody could imagine what would happen next. Cristiano Ronaldo’s winning match, the game of illusion on the way to the Champions League, the last of the brilliant Allegri thanks to a formation full of perhaps forced elections but which was successful. In all this Federico Bernardeschi was furious as if the time had come to really grow up, to take Juve and everything else. Nothing more bad, nothing more deceptive. Because that magical night is still the highest point of his career, but also the beginning of a decline that for the moment seems inexorable. Until the umpteenth negative performance after another change of position, on Sunday night, against Verona.
THE EQUIVOCO – The position. That seemed to be Bernardeschi’s problem. Always positive or almost in the selection, as a winger. Constantly looking for himself with the Juventus jersey. Left or right. As an offensive midfielder. Even mix it up. His correct position is always the one in which he does not play. Now another try, another experiment. It is up to Andrea Pirlo to try and try again, the intention is to transform him into a full-blown extreme. Only the beginning is anything but encouraging: clips without infamy and without praise in Crotone and Kiev, a disastrous test with Verona between the wrong goal and the gift goal. In short, maybe paper doesn’t seem to be the problem.
WHAT HAPPENS – There is a photo that has been circulating since Sunday night. Bernardeschi sat alone on the bench, his head resting on the front chair, staring off into space. It is a sad image, which explains a lot, perhaps everything. Bernardeschi’s crisis is obviously technical. But this is perhaps the consequence of something else, than it is possible to understand. A very talented player who suddenly seems to have finished him, a footballer who proposed daring plays who suddenly no longer has courage, thinks too much and is wrong. Always wrong, in elections and then in executions. Something has happened, something is happening, something that must be remedied. Because the risk that Bernardeschi is wasting his career is increasingly concrete. Today he is not a Juventus player, he was before, he can still be one again. But the problem is not that of the position in the field, in any case it is a misunderstanding. There are other problems, they must be understood and addressed. Also because the patience of the fans has run out, the transfer market no longer calls and when he calls, he does not respond, and in 2022 the contract will expire. Reactions must come now, not later.
