[Review] Juventus fell below the lower limit. How much "pot" belongs to Tudor?

Three consecutive defeats, four games without a goal, and eight consecutive games without a win. It is not unexpected that Juventus is in crisis, but it is so bad that it has fallen below the lower limit. Just one-fifth of the season has passed, and it seems that there is no hope. An important competition in the league is getting less and less attention. Many loyal fans of Juventus have given up.

Tudor has already messed up. He disrespected his opponents before playing against Como, looked down on Cremona before playing against Real Madrid, complained about penalties and the schedule. This time he caused public outrage. Juventus stars such as Del Piero, Marchisio, and Moggi no longer stand by his side, and Tudor is not far away from betraying his relatives.

This is a matter of mentality and speech. From a technical and tactical perspective, he is constantly making mistakes. Tudor used a 352 formation in this campaign, and Conceicao was placed at the right wing-back position. Since Kalulu had not been effective on the wing in the previous games, he asked Conceicao to retreat to cover the entire wing. However, there was a serious wing-back Joao Mario sitting on the bench, but Tudor almost relegated him to the sidelines and only remembered him in the last few minutes.

Perhaps Tudor was grudged against Comolli, who was promoted to CEO. The Alberto Costa he used in the Club World Cup was originally good, but Comolli forcibly exchanged him for Joao Mario, who was in the same position. He was older and more unknown. Tudor obviously did not like Mario. However, when there are not many choices, letting Conceicao extend his running distance and waste his physical energy can be said to be an operation of abandoning the good and choosing the bad. Conceicao's advantage lies in facing the goal directly. The closer he is to the goal, the easier it is to play, instead of spending his energy on turning back.

Sure enough, Tudor, who realized his mistake, began to make adjustments at halftime. He removed Cambiaso on the left and replaced Yildez, allowing Conceicao to take the lead and McKennie to move to the left. This completely disrupted the deployment and the players played in an awkward way. After the game, Tudor admitted that he did not start Yildiz because he needed to rest. This is another weakness of Tudor, who is not good at physical management. Yildiz was in very good shape at the beginning of the season. The game against Verona that he should have rested most was, but as a result, he didn't rest and didn't win the game. The frequency of one game every three days was too much for the 21-year-old Turkish genius. Since then, his condition has continued to decline. It has been a month and a half since his last goal.

This is the detail. From the perspective of the entire 352 system, this is a very difficult formation to run. It requires the midfielder and frontcourt personnel to cooperate tacitly and smoothly, and the two forwards must also have very strong personal abilities. Regardless of the popularity of 3 defenders in Serie A, there are very few teams that insist on 352. Among the strong teams, only Inter Milan tried to transition to 3421 in the summer, but failed. Parma and Verona are purely negative cases, and now Parma has voluntarily given up.

Juventus does not have these conditions. Midfield control is always a weakness of this team, and the two forwards are even more disastrous. David and Vlahovich seemed to have no tacit understanding. One was supposed to drop back to receive the ball, and the other was responsible for pushing forward, so as to play at a higher level, but it seemed that they did not trust each other. David, who was supposed to rush forward, frequently returned the ball, and the quality was appalling. An uninterrupted header turned into an own goal assist, helping Lazio take the lead.

The backward stage is even more torturous. Players will only pass blindly and lack inspiration in their placement, resulting in failed attempts again and again. The three forwards are wasted. Vlahovich has an annual salary of tens of millions, and David also has an annual salary of 6 million plus bonuses. Although Oponda's annual salary is not high, the transfer fee reaches 45 million. It is really a big spend, but it does not get the results it deserves.

This is also the main reason why Del Piero did not fully transfer the responsibility to Tudor after the game. He commented in the Sky Sports studio: "Juventus's problem does not lie with the head coach. In fact, it is more complicated and involves the team's integration method and overall performance at the beginning of the season. The team has not yet A fixed set of 11 starting players is not because Tudor does not want to determine the lineup, but except for a few players with outstanding personal performance, it is difficult for others to consistently perform at their due level. "Vieri also said that Juventus currently lacks championship players and has spent money without bringing in high-quality players.

But even so, Comolli, who is the most responsible person in the athletics department, can only be seen in the stands. It has reached this point, and he is still in a state of silence and disappearance. His power is getting bigger and bigger, but the pot is not sticky at all. The current situation is that even if the coach is not changed immediately, adjustments are still needed in the winter window. However, until now, the candidate for the sports director is still unclear. It is not just the coaching team that is in chaos in management, but firing the coach is always the most convenient option.
