Juventus Turin is having a crisis. This Sunday at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, the Old Lady lost against Lazio (0-1) after a goal from Toma Basic, author of a beautiful strike from outside the area (9th). Guilty of a big blunder on the only goal of this meeting, Jonathan David also did not shine on the offensive level, missing his only opportunity against Ivan Provedel (35th). In addition to the timid performance of the former LOSC scorer, it was the entire Turin team which, once again, failed.
Uninspired on the offensive level – the Bianconeri have just gone a fourth consecutive match without scoring a single goal (a first since 1991) – Kephren Thuram's teammates can no longer do it. As a result, Juve finds itself stuck in 8th place, six points behind the leader, Naples. But beyond the balance sheet, the dynamic could not be more worrying. Indeed, Igor Tudor's men remain in eight unsuccessful matches in all competitions (5 draws and 3 defeats).
Tudor is not worried
“This is a difficult time and we are all responsible for it”declared, in this regard, the Turin coach after the new setback for his team. “We must stay united and work more together. We prepared for the match in the right way, but we are still missing something.”added the former OM coach before discussing his future… “I don't think about myself, I see everyone asking me these questions, but I don't think about myself. I live in the present and I don't care about the future. I am lucid and aware of the problems that exist”.
However, if the 47-year-old technician appears little worried about his personal situation, the first rumors of departure continue to multiply. According to several sources from the other side of the Alps, the future of the Croatian coach on the bench of Juventus is today in dotted lines. “We feel bad, but we have to stay together and come together. Everyone is responsible, we try to do better and it's a moment like that, but we play straight away in two days and with a victory we can leave. Take a step back and resign? No, the steps are only taken forward my friend”preferred to add the main person concerned at a press conference. Under pressure, Tudor will now have to quickly find the key to bounce back this Wednesday, when they host Udinese.
