Andrea Pirlo’s Juventus is not moving forward. Or too little. If he has not yet experienced defeat in the league with his flock, the former midfielder has only nine small points in the standings after five days in Serie A. He has won two victories (one on the green carpet against the Napoli), but he also had three draws (one against Crotone, one against Hellas Verona and one against AS Roma, at the very start of the season).
In his defense, Pirlo cannot count on Cristiano Ronaldo since the international break, the Portuguese having tested positive for Covid-19. The game is in its infancy and, even though Juventini won on Dynamo Kiev midweek in the Champions League, it is too little. Especially since looming, in this midweek, the reception of FC Barcelona on behalf of the second day of C1.
Ronaldo’s return is expected
This Sunday evening, the coach of the Turinese kept his cool, did not make a drama and explained the new poor performance, since it is one of drawing a draw at home against the Hellas, of his own. ” In the first half, we expected too much, but we had the best opportunities. Then we had a good reaction after the goal, but we don’t always have to take the slap before we react. Kulusevski returned after 6 games played, I preferred to let him rest and keep him as a change since the rest of the bench was made up of young boys. Dybala hadn’t expected him to play the 90 minutes, but he worked hard until the end of the game. Bonucci’s injury? He had already felt something in Kiev, he gritted his teeth today and we will take stock in the next few hours », He declared.
If his position is not already called into question and Juve is only three points behind leaders AC Milan, which receives AS Roma this Monday evening, it is a bit of a stain for an introduction , but hope is still present and Ronaldo’s return awaited. ” We knew that it would be more difficult than in Kiev for the intensity they give you, and the more than soporific atmosphere without an audience did not help us, it takes determination from the start. Ronaldo? On his return, he will play with Dybala and Morata », He continued. In any case, we wish him so.
