Pazza Juve with Borussia Dortmund, but for the Champions League it serves more

Batticuore debut in Europe for Tudor’s team. Here’s what worked and what not in the challenge against Borussia Dortmund

Juventus starts badly, indeed well. Russian mountains of emotions as against Inter to avoid a defeat that would have forced the bianconeri to trace the current in a group stage in which it was essential not to take false home steps.

The result is crazy (4-4), conditioned by discussion episodes (there is no clear penalty to Tudor’s team and that for Borussia Dortmund does not convince it all the way), but it is also the result of a not sufficient performance. Because net of events it is necessary to underline how long the Germans have been more organized and incisive of the hosts, a difference that with the passing of the minutes risked determining the verdict.

Tudor, how many training errors

A separate character, Tudor’s European first of Juventus was not up to the stage and not only for the alternation of the result. Performance that must make you think, in the Champions League you need something more and of different and imagine speculating waiting for the opponent does not pay.

Tudor has signed at least a couple of questionable choices. The first: focus on a light attack by keeping Vlahovic out for an hour with a game plan that included the restart by jumping the midfield and relying on the tips. When the Serbian entered the situation improved.

Second error: Koopmeiners is the same as last year with the aggravating circumstance of no longer having physical problems. Put as a reference point in front of the defense has failed, once again. Bad in the offensive phase, off in the proactive one and too soft by defending. Having insisted beyond the interval limited Juventus’ chances.

Serious mistakes that condemned the bianconeri starting with the flower the European campaign. On the sidelines, a worrying fact because between Inter and Borussia the defense collected 7 goals in 180 minutes. Too many.

Yildiz at Del Piero and Vlahovic indispensable

Positive note, the confirmation that Yildiz is already an international talent. When he turned on, Juventus showed the best things. The right -footed under the ncrocry of the poles recalled a certain of Piero always with the Gialloneri and the assist provided in Vlahovic was a cameo. He and the Serbian today are indispensable stitches for Tudor and the Champions League night has clearly highlighted him.

And then the huge character. And the possibility of fishing from the quality bench that was not there a year ago: Zhegrova was decisive even in a few minutes, when it has greater condition it will enter the rotations. For now it is enough, at least for ranking and result.
