The absence of Cristiano Ronaldo due to coronavirus has served for Álvaro Morata to become the benchmark for Juventus goals and in part it is thanks to the partnership with Juan Guillermo Cuadrado, with whom he had already known from his previous stage and they built plays similar to those they have generated, such as in the game against Dinamo Kiev at the start of the Champions League.
However, the Colombian’s centers from the right wing for the Spanish striker have found an impediment in the offside to have more influence in the last matches, such as in the game against Barcelona, in which that pair was close to avoiding the defeat of their team.
The bad streak of Cuadrado and Morata
In three of the last four games, Morata has had five goal plays disallowed for out of place after a cross from Cuadrado. Completing the Spanish 11 similar actions in all that goes in 2020, according to Gazzetta dello Sport review.
The first of them occurred in the game against Crotone in the 76th minute, in which Juve drew 1-1. Then against Hellas Verona, who ended up at the bottom of the arc, but was invalidated and the team drew 1-1 again. And finally against Barcelona there were three plays in which the Colombian assisted former Atlético de Madrid and in all it was ahead canceling the actions, that could turn the 0-2 against in the Allianz Stadium.
In the midst of this bad run, Morata’s goal in the Champions League against Dinamo Kiev came with previous assistance from Cuadrado, In his time at Juventus, he completed 30 assists in six seasons.
