The third consecutive 0-0 did not fully convince the newspapers. A sufficient performance by Thiago Mottaas reiterated by The Sports Gazettebut with several flaws: “His Juve is going through a phase of hermeticism. It doesn’t concede goals, but in attack it is incomprehensible. It shoots little and scores less and less”. Of the same opinion TMW: ” Third consecutive 0-0, another match without conceding a goal but unable to find the decisive move to unlock the contest. He starts again from the certainties behind and in the middle of the field, something needs to be reviewed up front. He also tries replacing Vlahovic for Weah so as not to give Napoli points of reference, but the Azzurri defense is a bunker”.
Lower rating regarding Allsports: “Three consecutive 0-0 scores in the league may not be a record, but they are a worrying sign: the opponents have found the antidote. We urgently need to find a solution to the goal problem as soon as possible. And just two changes made make us think”. However, the Bianconeri must turn the page, as reiterated by Sports Courier: “Losing would have been worse, but now it’s about changing pace and becoming more dangerous. Vlahovic being inconclusive and a substitute is a case in point”.
