Series A, Juventus | The poor start of Juventus in the series attracts attention:

Until Inter Antonio Conte, led by Romelu Lukaku, won the Serie A title last season, Juventus won nine consecutive league titles.

Last season the club finished fourth and Champions League matches with a shout of distress, while the start of the current season has been surprisingly weak.

The bottom point was reached in the 0-1 defeat at home to Empoli on August 28, but the “old lady” did not look like herself in the subsequent matches against Napoli and Milan.

– Not real

After four rounds, only Salernitana and Cagliari, plus Juventus, have won.

– It’s unrealistic to see them in the relegation zone, despite only playing four matches, says Fiasat football expert Rolf Otto Eriksen.

However, he is well aware that nothing has been decided on and points out that Juventus too six years ago had a very turbulent start to the season under Allegri.

In the 15/16 season, Allegres Juventus had scored five points after the first six games and was in an empty area on the table. After that, they won 25 of the next 26 games and lifted the trophy in both the series and the cup, says Eriksen.

Now the Serie A expert is excited about how long it will take Allegri before he can get the ship back on track.

– It’s early season. Juventus must learn more about Cristiano Ronaldo’s life, and Allegri must race as he did when he blew the worst of the 15/16 season. I think they can, but it will be interesting to see how long they need to decode.

Allegri: – I have to know my players better

After the weekend’s 1-1 home game against AC Milan, coach Massimiliano Allegri admitted he doesn’t know his players well yet.

– We lost focus, and I should know my players better over time. I don’t know enough at the moment. I need to know who can give me what and when during the match. “I have to work on it and find out very quickly,” Allegri told DAZN.

– I admit that I made some mistakes with the changes. I have to play more defensive players at 1-0 – that’s my responsibility.

The substitute player in particular and European champion Federico Chiesa was reviewed by Allegri during the match. However, he was apologetic at the press conference afterwards.

– He came at a difficult time in the match, and I needed him to take the ball to the opponent’s half, Allegri said.

The wreck of midfielder Matthijs de Ligt is also something that has received a lot of attention in the Italian media. Allegri still swears by veteran duo Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci.

With all due respect to Mathis de Ligt, Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci played exceptionally well. You ask me about failed swaps. Also ask why Bonucci and not De Ligt. Bonucci played brilliantly. Allegri said, and so did Chiellini.

Danilo: – We will climb

Juventus defender Danilo believes that the team’s problems are first and foremost on the players’ minds and that it is not skills that get in their way.

– As I see it, it’s more of a mental problem than a physical one. We should only focus on what we are going to do and our progress – not what the other teams are doing. If we play the way we can, we’re guaranteed to climb the table,” Danilo tells DAZN.

Juventus will already have the next chance to grab the top three points of the year on Wednesday. Then the superstars travel from Turin to visit little Spezia.
