Pundit Alessandro Santarelli emphasises that the only positive aspect of Juventus’ performance against Atalanta is that they avoided a loss. The Bianconeri were held to a 2-2 draw by Atalanta in a challenging match.
With several key players missing, Juventus relied on Federico Chiesa and Weston McKennie to provide the impetus for a victory. While both players gave their best, Juventus struggled to overcome Gian Piero Gasperini’s side.
Atalanta, having secured a point away from home at the Allianz Stadium, will likely be the more satisfied of the two clubs after facing tough opposition in Juventus. The draw may have left Juventus with mixed feelings as they continue their pursuit of a top-four finish.
But everyone affiliated with Juve will not be happy, and while on punditry duty, Santarelli said, as quoted by Tuttomercatoweb:
“I am more dissatisfied because it’s the fourth game we’ve conceded 2 goals, due to Tek no longer taking a shot and Danilo not being able to read a shot. Dissatisfied because However, Juventus continues in its moment of crisis, we only beat Frosinone with a goal from Rugani in the 94th minute and the good defeat in Naples seems like an isolated case.
“Another thing that doesn’t make me satisfied is that we manage to get back into the game, let’s go we have the lead and we can’t hold it. The only thing that makes me satisfied is that we didn’t lose and even the changes at the end are objectively incomprehensible.”
Juve FC Says
It was not a good day for us, and that has been recurring for weeks now. This team needs to put together a good run, or we will soon find ourselves fighting for a Europa League spot.
Definetly agree on the Danilo take as so many of the goals we ship come through his side. I would consider benching him for Rugani. Danilo is important for the build up play but if he can be replaced in the summer or if juve switches to a 4 man defense I say he should be benched or leave.
As a fan, I’m so tired of hearing excuses from this coach. He is the problem. Different line-up every game, even if everyone is healthy. People playing out of position. No discernable system. Always playing to counter the other teams strengths, instead of asserting your own teams strengths. The objective is fourth place.. And now, the latest. All the home fans weren’t being supportive. Are you kidding me?
Everyone who reads my posts knows I’m not an Allegri fan, but this tops the cake. He is the worst manager in Serie A right now. I don’t care what he has done in the last. Today is today. And frankly this team the way they play doesn’t belong in the Champions league. And if management doesn’t make the change, it will never get better.
