There are three of them for a position. With the unloved Dusan Vlahovic, which remained despite the desire of his club to sell him, and the recruits Jonathan David and Laws Openda, Juventus Turin thought himself an offensively armed. But for a few weeks, supporters have seen that his triggers have been shooting white. With 5 consecutive draws, and without any goal scored by one of its three attackers since September 16, the Turin club is penalized by its lack of efficiency. Yesterday facing AC Milan, it was Jonathan David still missed, sliding stupidly when he was ideally placed. An image that earned him many mockery, a few days after his huge missed alone against the goal, against Villarreal.
“Since his first goal against Parma on August 24, David has had no impact: he is now a mixture of clumsiness and discouragement. And the bianconeri attack suffers from it. The discontent of Juventus supporters grows on social networks ”written as well Sport Mediaset. The former midfielder of Juventus Alessio Tacchinardi turned it out after the meeting. “We can't slide like that, he feels too much pressure”. Where “Iceman” went, therefore wonders the Italian press, which is clearly starting to doubt the composure of the 25-year-old Canadian international. His coach Igor Tudor wanted to maintain his confidence for him, however, by starting him again against AC Milan, but that did not bear fruit.
Three players loss of confidence
More generally, the position becomes a major problem. A shame for a club that thought they had offered as many options as possible to his coach. “The” new “becomes a problem. He changes and reappears. Igor Tudor tries all possible combinations, but the result is the same against Milan. Jonathan David and Dusan Vlahovic no longer mark, and Laws Openda is unable to find the way to the nets. The arsenal at 100 million euros – and an average of 50 to 60 goals per season, according to the past habits of the trio – is at a standstill “written as well La Gazzetta dello Sportwhich points to the management of Tudor. “Until now, Tudor has bet on benevolence, dialogue and constant rotation. However, it is the impression that democratic management ended up handicaping the three attackers, who suffered more pressure than necessary. It's: if I don't score, I go back to the bench. Finally, no one marks, and all three are temporary. »»
An observation shared yesterday on the set of Sky Italia by the Turin legend Alessandro del Piero. “If you turn a lot, you keep everyone on your nerves and you have to put everyone with confidence. But on the other hand, we lose our identity. Elsewhere, in defense and in the midfield for example, ideas are clear. In front, Tudor still does not have clear ideas. »» Between Jonathan David, free arrival, Openda laws, recruited against a check for € 43 million, and Dusan Vlahovic, which costs € 1 million per month, Igor Tudor will have to establish a clearer hierarchy.
