The Italian football manager Angelo Alessio has supported those who believe Juventus is struggling because injuries have robbed them of using their key players.
The Bianconeri have had a bad season even though they invested in their playing squad in the last transfer window.
Fans had expected them to be in fine form in the league and perhaps challenge for the title.
However, that hasn’t been the case, and they are even struggling to win key games.
Max Allegri is under pressure to leave his role as the club’s manager, and one reason the club keeps him is because injuries have stopped him from using his best men.
Alessio sees reasons with that as well and says via Tuttomercatoweb:
“I think the year started badly; I think the causes of this period are many, but I think the injuries have had a lot of impact: they had to play almost always the same. Allegri you have never had very important players available. A striking example in this regard are those of Chiesa and Pogba.”
Juve FC Says
Juve is one of the biggest clubs in the world, and we still have enough squad depth to help us deal with matches.
The injuries to key players could be a problem, but we have enough depth to deal with these.
We must quit the excuses and show we are truly the team with the best quality players in the league.
I would say this is an excuse you use if they had beat Monza and those other bad teams like Samp. If they had around 20 to 22 points. Or if they were actually playing well but still couldn’t get it right especially against the good teams. But that is not the case and this is a huge excuse that not many juve fans want to hear anymore.
