Juventus began preparing for Sunday’s championship match against Roma at 8.45pm at the Olimpico. Yesterday, the Bianconeri carried out a purely tactical session on the Juventus Training Center pitch with ball possession exercises and then finished training with the classic practice match. Allegri can smile, because he has the whole group at his disposal, including De Sciglio who was not called up against Milan.
Allegri needs goals from Chiesa, Yildiz, Milik and Kean.
The next fifteen days will be the most important of Juventus’ season: Allegri’s boys will have to qualify for the next Champions League and try to win the Italian Cup. To be able to achieve the two objectives at the beginning of the season, Juventus needs goals from all its attackers and not just those from Dusan Vlahovic. Making everything even more difficult is the drastic drop in DV9’s goal average in the last two months. In fact, compared to the period between December and February, when he scored a goal every 97 minutes, the Serbian Juventus striker saw his scoring average drop, going to one goal every 331 minutes. If Vlahovic isn’t going through his best form, the other Juventus attackers are certainly not doing any better. In 2024, Chiesa, Yildiz, Milik and Kean have all scored just three goals together in the Serie A championship. Two goals from Chiesa, one from Milik, zero from the other two attackers, numbers certainly not up to par for an important shirt like that of the Vecchia Signora.
Chiesa has fifteen days to take Juve on his shoulders.
Federico Chiesa is certainly not having a season that lives up to the expectations of the entire Juventus world. Juventus’ number 7 played 32 matches, 25 of which as a starter, scoring 8 goals and 2 assists between Serie A and the Italian Cup. Now, the most important days of the season are arriving and the Old Lady needs the best Chiesa, who perhaps has never been seen this year, to achieve their objectives. Allegri, despite a good performance from his number 7 against Milan, expects more and more from his star player, as he himself declared after the match against the Rossoneri: “I spoke to him immediately after the match, I believe he could still do Better. In the first control he could have created more difficulties for the full-back. I’m happy, but I was also happy in the previous matches.”
