Former Juventus loanee Marco Borriello insists the Bianconeri do not convince him still despite their 3-1 win against Maccabi Haifa in midweek.
The Bianconeri entered that game on the back of a 3-0 win over Bologna.
Before that Serie A victory, they had been on a five-game winless run, so we expected the win.
They now have back-to-back victories in all competitions, but survived a late scare against Haifa to take home all the points.
The score suggests it was a somewhat easy game, but the Israelis piled on the pressure in the second half to nearly take home a point.
Borriello watched them struggle in that half and says a top club like them should not be in that position.
He said via Calciomercato:
“I saw Juve in the Champions League, above all, I saw a player, Di Maria, who always makes the difference: the man jumps and also takes the responsibility of making mistakes. However, Juventus did not fully convince me, a great team cannot suffer in the final against Maccabi Haifa.”
Juve FC Says
Borriello is right, we should easily dispatch a team like Haifa in our best shape, but we are not in top form now, which shows.
We must not repeat that mistake in the reverse fixture next week, otherwise, we will be looking at likely elimination.
