Juventus overwhelmed by Manchester City on the last day of the Club World Championship. Tudor and Defense errors, turn over and a technical difference at times embarrassing: this is what the challenge leaves
Juventus come out of the “noble” direct comparison of the group of the Club World Championship, collects a very poker of goals from Manchester Citymakes the figure of the schoolboy brought to lessons by the master and closes in second place. Not a good figure for the bianconeri of Igor Tudornever in the game against Pep Guardiola In a decisive match only to determine the positions at the top of the group’s ranking. Heavy slaps to be metabolized, above all because they encourage the climate of trust that surrounded the Juventus expedition to the United States.
Between the two teams there was a gap in terms of potential well expressed by the economic weight: on the one hand the race for billion euros of the City turnover, on the other the 400 million of Juventus. In the field everything was seen, with very few comforting news in view of the round of 16 for the Bianconeri.
Tudor under accusation, too much turn over against the strongest
First charge of accusation: Too much turn over decided by Tudor in the start leaving Yildiz, Kolo Muani and Thuram on the bench Among others to give space and an opportunity to Vlahovic and the revived Kostic. When the owners were thrown on the field it was too late to reverse a risky tendency because in the heart of the second half the City seemed to be able to spread also creating damage to Juventus.
It is true that the tiredness of the end of the season and the reduced time margin to prepare the second phase (Tuesday 1 July at 9 pm), in addition to the presence of numerous warnings, advised prudence in managing the commitment, but in doing so the Croatian technician exposed the team to a bad figure that also affects morality.
Club World Cup, what Juventus gained
Juventus, alarm from the defensive phase: too many mistakes
Another negative indication, the defensive estate. Alberto Costa made everything wrong on the first goal of Docu. Kalulu’s goal was also grotesque in his awkwardness as well as the coverage of Koopmeiners on the occasion of the Tris of Haaland that Guardiola made it rest for a time, thinking like Tudor, but that after the interval he entered, definitively splitting the game definitively.
If the best is the goalkeeper, an excellent of Gregorio, the signal is worrying. Manchester City literally walked in the Juventus fieldalmost without finding opposition: 76% of ball possession, 24 shots, 11 of which in the door mirror. Having grossed only 5 goals, marking Ederson the first two taken in the entire tournament, is almost consoling.
Juventus, the distance between owners and reserves
The legacy that leaves the hard defeat with Manchester City is heavy. There is a huge distance between owners and reserves and in the summer you will have to work a lot on the market To give Tudor a deeper and balanced rose. Some of the players in the squad are not up to international challenges that Juventus will have to face even starting from autumn, but it is not said that there are all the resources to be able to intervene.
Tudor also collects a lesson. Losing against the City is not a drama, doing it, leaving the feeling of always chasing the opponent, being at times taken for a walk, it is instead a luxury that an aspiring great team cannot be afforded.
