Juventus had dominated italian football for over 10 years. But this season they are well off the pace. Club legend Andrea Pirlo has been the manager since the summer of 2020 - their league place suggests it isn’t going well. Or is it?
Alex Stewart uncovers Pirlo’s managerial influences, the tactical changes to the team and whether their fortunes will change.

What’s going wrong with Juventus? They didn’t buy Tifo’s suggestion of Ibrahim Sangaré
Lol
What’s wrong with this comment? I see this on every tifo video
@@pkingglazersout6665 Tifo always recommends Sangare in their Sensible Transfers video when he was at Toulouse. Only PSV heeded their recommendation.
@Mahdi Ghanbari I do know that bro, was just pulling his leg there 😉
@@hsymdeen yep
as a Juve supporter, i think the lack of a pre season for a novice coach is the thing that has really messed with everything, Milan, Lazio, Inter, Atalanta all have tactical continuity so the lack of pre season isn't so bad, but it's an almost impossible task for Pirlo.
That's right Pirlo is a new coach and he couldnt prepare his team And for a top club, who plays every three days and have all these players gone during international breaks, it's impossible to work during the season. All Pirlo could do since he's manager is recovery for tired players and explain the tactic (but not work on it) before the match. So I think he does a pretty good job until now, because it's impossible to beat Inter or whatever just by a snap of finger
I agree with this, im a juve fan and in the first 10 matches it was clear to see the team is still developing its style of play and its identity. What is happening this season is normal for every club and is needed to keep the club growing. All the summer signings were perfect and are all part of the starting group of players under pirlo, the coach needs to be given time as do the players. I still believe juve will be part of the title race this season as if they win the game in hand against napoli they will only be 4 point off top spot. Fino Alla Fine!
@@vincesalamander5980 Thanos could do that
Yeah preseason 😂
The same thing happened with Lampard at Chelsea. We'll see whether Pirlo will meet the same fate....
"What's Going Wrong at Juventus?" Literally doesn't answer the question
It’s rhetorical to generate views.
Individual errors, finishing and goalkeeping I guess
Not enough refs on the payroll
Well, he did answer it. And the answer was "essentially nothing"

The only good aspect I deduce of Pirlo at Juventus is that he is leveraging the midfield talents he has at his hands which none of the previous managers have done
Which is juve's main problem from previous season. So he's doing good so far.
what midfield talents mate?
@@SuperLari1234 chiesa , Melo , cuadrado , McKenney

@@SuperLari1234 cuadrado and chiesa are Right Midfielder and Left Midfielder. Benta and rabiot are not below average but didnt reach their potential and consistency yet, they are far from lost.
This video doesn't actually say what is going wrong at Juventus in any detail, if anything it says what they're doing right. Really poor tifo
I do agree. Worst tifo video I have watched so far. Usually, they keep the high bar they have set, and kudos to that but this one wasn’t great - or should be titled differently.
I found the video interesting but yeah the title is nonsense

I was about to write the same thing. It's a good intro to "how Juventus tries to play" but nothing to do with the topic the video was supposed to be about!
Btw De Ligt got over his 'bad start' well before the end of last season. He's miles better than Bonucci now and probably is already our best CB
he is the best in the world when fit
problem is that there is no other young cb who is close to his level and when chiellini and bonucci retires it will become a bit of a problem

They won supercopa, are still in coppa italia, and came first in ucl group with barcelona. And they have a game in hand in serie a. Not too bad for me.
U spoke my mind.....plus the easy draw in the next stage ucl makes me think we can go for quaters pretty easily too!!!!....and a lot of players are developing rapidly(arthur, weston mckennie,kulushevski and also bernardeschi)....future looks good for me i would say!!!!

@@4cryingoutloud187 good point, the outcome vs porto will say a lot about pirlo
The lack of preseason hurt them quite a bit. When they're clicking, they look really dangerous (ask Barcelona). Hopefully, they club's reasonably patient with Pirlo. Even if they don't win the league this year, as long as they maintain a Champions League spot, they could come back scary next year
lol he's gonna be sacked before the season finishes
As a Barca fan, this might not be the right time to hold us up as an example to beat 😅 juve gotta focus on themselves and Serie A, I feel the champions league is out of both our clubs hands this year

Weston Mckennie is playing really well at the moment. I feel like he’s bringing the energy in the midfield they really need at the moment.
They play so much better when he's on the field it's staggering.
They need more energetic players. The rest of midfield is very lazy.
We get it, you’re American
@@theamazingpowderedtoastman4816 so u can’t compliment players unless you are their nationality?
Maybe there's really nothing wrong with Juve... It's just that the other clubs in Italy finally woke up and they're now competing to blast out Juve's abnormal one-decade complete domination...
Exactly, and besides Pirlo is taking small steps in revitalizing the squad by introducing many younger players into the mix while also tweaking Sarri's tactics that did not seem to work well last season. If anything, they are doing fine despite the slow start, and they will only get better as a whole.
THIS!!
I don't know where this confidence comes from. Do you honestly believe Allegri or Conte's Juve would struggle to deal with the current crop of title challengers?
In short, Juve's experienced a decline while the other clubs have come to rise and are rising. Add to that, literally every club in the league has more experienced coached than Juve.
@@kurdiRed Juve have been in decline for a lot of reasons other than coaches. Paratici is one of them. In the past, Juve brought in players but not at a price/wage that would be a serious risk if they failed. Case in point eljero elia, didn't work was shipped out. This hasn't been possible after Marotta left. Not to mention, Ronaldo earning high wages hasn't helped with the wage structure.
Fortunately, Juventus are not owned by Roman Abramovich
If they were, maybe they would have won the CL in the last 10 years.
@@julianbanks1885 And they wouldn't have finished 10th in 2016 😂😂
Pirlo's Juve perform much better than Chelsea. Also being helped by Ronaldo.
Yeah, the same club that sacked a manager who won the league.......
Big difference, Pirlo is a good coach. Fat boy lampard is, was, and will ever be a fat bastard.
I think we need a topic, "What Serie A doing finally right"
That'll be good, but I doubt they have enough Serie A knowledge. I a Juve supporter and I don't think this video went in-depth. Football-wise they are starting to click. The main issue or one of them is financially. From all the reports I get, I don't remember hearing something wrong with Juve. My surprise when I saw the video on KZhead; I wanted to see what I missed about Juve.
Sassuolo and Atalanta beating the shit out of everyone is a good start
This all sounds like what Lampard wanted for Chelsea. Implementation of their principles, however, is a lot harder than just talking about what they want.
both Pep and Klopp needed 3 seasons for them to get the players they want and play the way they wanted. If thr clyb backed the manager and gave them time, I'm sure even Lampard could build a winning team... just like Ole.
yes but the key difference is one of them is Frank Lampard, and the other is Andrea Pirlo.
@@HenSt-gz7qj its still half season, calm down with ole stuff.
Lampard had at least a little bit experience
@@HenSt-gz7qj Pep and Klopp were experienced managers who coached big teams before coming to the premier League. Pep was from Barca and Bayern and Klopp from Dortmund.
Tifo really decided to upload this video when Juventus started to win games and are 4 points behind Milan 😭
You count games in hand as 3 points?
@@Mugwump187 well it’s against the team juve beat 2-0 last week
@@Mugwump187 As of now, the Italian football federation didn't accept Napoli appeal that was accepted by the Olympic council. The italian FIGIC rejected Napoli appeal 2 times then they turned to the Olympic council. As of now, the FIGIC didn't accept the Olympic council ruling and they requested further reasoning on the ruling since they are no convinced. As of that, they rejected completely to announce when the match will be replayed. Long story short, almost 90% Juventus will end up getting the Napoli home match 3 points in the next few weeks/month. Napoli is like Trump trying to delay results and fight a lost case.
@@murshid3971 Napoli non'e Italia
@@murshid3971 wait, really? I thought juve v napoli will be at 14th feb
The video was suppose to be “what’s gone wrong at juventus” but they seem fine to me they brought to some younger and freasher talent, becoming less reliant on Ronaldo all while Pirlo is finding a consistent grove the winning will come down the road am sure of it
15 goals from Ronaldo out of 35 team total goals. Terribile performances without him (Crotone and Verona). He's not playing well this season, but Juventus still depends on him a lot, especially at psychological level. Still, without Ronaldo's goals Juventus would definitely be in a worse position.
Have you heard of punctuation?
@@alessandrotiozzo7748 Aren’t all teams like that ? Lazio with Immobile. Milan with Zlatan. Inter with Lukaku. And practically all big teams. However without Ronaldo. Other strikers have more chances. Morata without Ronaldo can score 20+ goals. But has to play second fiddle.
@@williamlee7672 I actually agree with you. My answer was to the claim that under Pirlo Juventus has become less reliant on Ronaldo. That is not true and the offensive stats demonstrate it. Last year for exemple under Sarri the real difference in the offensive side was Dybala and Ronaldo was less important.
@@alessandrotiozzo7748 What do you mean playing bad? He’s Serie A’s top goalscorer with 15 goals in 15 matches (he missed 3 of Juve’s games due to injury. Coincidentally, all draws against lower table teams). You can say he hasn’t been as productive as he was on Real Madrid some years ago, but you can’t say he’s playing bad.
"Well off the pace..." They are 7 points off 1st place and sit in 4th, with a game in hand on every team ahead of them. So with a victory, they are 4 points off 1st place Milan. Nothing is going wrong, Serie A is just more competitive and Juve can't be a monopoly forever. This video was a video for the sack of making a video.
i am juve fan but saying a game in hand against napoli is guaranteed 3 points is nonsense
Lol there is no way that this Juve Team should be 7 Points behind Milan especially considering how many key players Milan have been missing throughout the season so far. And the game in hand for Juve is against Napoli not against some Team battling relegation. This wouldnt have happened with Allegri as coach
The poorest TiFo video ever
I love how the statue of Pirlo is a reference to Niccolo Machiavelli's statue in Florence
Thank you so much Tifo, because of your videos I now help with tatics and analysis for club and academy teams in my area at only the age of 16. Your videos help me understand where things others went wrong and went well to implement that when I work on my own tatics as well.

They're still well in the mix for the league, this is alarmist nonsense.
Hardly. Compared to previous seasons they're off the pace, still developing and not dominating.
@@MrGts92 I think it's still too early to make statements
@@thetemptedvida8650 it's half way through the season and yet they're still developing. you're honestly telling me this is peak Pirlo?
@@MrGts92 No I'm saying that the championship is tight and the last two months of the season will be crucial to understand who is gonna win it, we are still in January, everything can happen
@@thetemptedvida8650 I'm not saying the championship isn't open. I'm talking about Juventus, and Juventus alone. Just like the video. Compared to previous seasons, they haven't matched that. That's just fact.
Excellent explanation, but another key factor is the mentality of the players. Juve have been always a very slow and static team, and sometimes the motivation to keep moving is hard to find, resulting in draws and losses. When they show some concentration though the team often dominates and eventually win
Time is needed to build up an idea in football. I hope you will read my comment, your analysis is great. I'm italian and I am a Juventus fan, i follow every match, and I appreciate the work of Pirlo, who is sharing european ideas, without being too drastic. It is an investiment for the future, following the evolution of football: if we wanted to win Serie A, we could only keep Allegri and we would have won 20 years. It can also help the movenent of italian football, with other offensive and propositive teams like Verona, Sassuolo and Atalanta. Probably Inter will win this year, but it's okay, they play a defensive football and in Europe it can't be successfull. However when Arthur and Dybala will be totally implemented in this team, I think that our football we be more fluent. I like your analysis about roles, now we don't have positions but everyone has a task. A defensive playmaker, Bonucci, an aggressive center back, Chiellini (De Ligt do both); a midfield playmaker, Arthur, a wing back at right, Cuadrado, and a full back at left, Danilo (Alex Sandro can do both and the rotation can be also on the other flank); a classic wing, Chiesa, on the same wing of the full back (he can play right or left); a box to box in pressing, Bentancur, and a "raider" McKennie or Ramsey, who plays in the same section of the wing-back and attach the box, but plays as wing in the 442 in defence; finally a striker, Morata, and a second striker, Ronaldo or Dybala. We have a good potential
Thanks for your comment Gionatan! We're pleased that you appreciated the analysis of the roles. It's a brave strategy from Juventus, but Pirlo has a very clear plan - hopefully in time the potential will be fulfilled! 🤞
@@Tifo 🙏🙏
@@Tifo I'm surprised you guys didn't talk about the main weakness of Juve, and that is defending counter attacking transitions. That has been the biggest flaw for Pirlo this season, and the lack of a specialist DM hasn't helped. The high line with Bonucci's lack of pace has been exploited by literally everyone in Serie A. I hope you guys get more info from people who have watched a lot of Juve games this season, not just making conclusions from stats.
@@Tifo Hey tifo hire this dude. He has TIFO brain
@@abhinandukanil3415 you are absolutely right, Pirlo wants high pressure but often between defense and midfield they leave too much space. It is because of some defenders like Bonucci is used to defend waiting and not being aggressive. With De Ligt, Bentancur and McKennie in the 11, this problem is less relevant, we can keep ball higher, and it is going better in the last weeks. Also Arthur is important because with the brazilian on the pitch, Bentancur don't have to be the first playmaker and can be concentrated on recovering balls and press. I hope in the market we can buy a dinamic defensive mid and sell Rabiot who is not the right guy to play Pirlo's football
Loving the content. Could we maybe get something on Georgios Giakoumakis? He just scored 4 goals in a game in the eredivisie for the second time this season, and he’s at over a goal a game now (20 in 19). People would be taking about this more imo
"This video was made with the support of Prostate Cancer" Odd flex

I would never support such a horrible disease
@@padraig5335 Shut up and grow up.
The main problem, as a Juve fan, is that Pirlo had very little time with the team as pre season was non existant this year. This meant he couldn’t instruct the team properly this summer, explaining the slow start of the season as this new way of playing is very different from allegri’s and even sarri’s. But now that he’s had more time and is gaining more experience, the team is doing quite good and it seems that we bounced back from the defeat against inter
Creativity oozing in this episode... Something has changed. 🔥🔥👍🏻
Tifo's voice has a soothing effect
The statue of pirlo looks like Jesus...so it took jesus to stop juventus 😂😂

Pirlo started at Milan so he probably was trying to make Juventus worse so AC Milan could win the title
😉 Oh!... AFC!
@@prometheustv6558 He actually started at Brescia. AC Milan was actually his third club, he only went there at age 22.

Brilliant analysis as always.
Very good observation 🤗
I don't think there's any need to panic, they need time to gel and play the way Pirlo wants. This season is weird since there was no pre-season so everything is just so up in the air and anything can happen
Looking forward to your analysis of Thomas Tuchel's tactics!
I’ve missed these tactics focused videos
simple lazio going into their x season with inzaghi like atalanta inter going in their second so do milan napoli and roma all those teams mentioned are now playing together for more than 2 years juve are still amazing but they lack continuity
The research and quality of your videos is always sublime, unbelievable channel.
Thanks Jack!
On the same subject, Please make a video on what's going on with Liverpool. I think the results being seen now, are a manifestation of something that went wrong several months ago. Reluctance to renew crucial contracts like Gini, Sadio Mane, the Mo Salah controversy a few weeks ago are a few hints of something that is going on there
I think they are making healthy progress, a lot of fringe players are playing and playing well. Even Morata is scoring goals
Yes we needed this
This is Pirlos first job as a manager and the type of football he wants to play is hard to manage its gonna be bumpy.
the Ronaldo statue at the beginning is a good touch 😂😂
Can you do a transfer one for juve please?
He is to be honest unlucky. Bonucci nowadays plays bad, Chellini Remains injured, De Ligt still adjusting to the league. So their main strength defence is no longer there. Inter have regained their old form and with Conte they are now serious title contenders. Milan, inspired by Ibrahimovic is a title contender too. Apart from the 2-0 loss to Inter there was not a single match where he was tactically destroyed. He might make them qualify for champions league but anything more is gonna be surely an achievement.
It’s going to take time and I think the board will give it to pirlo unlike with Sarri. I would like to see some more reinforcements upfront; Darwin Nunez, Vlahovic (yes, another Fiorentina player) or Mallen would be great additions. And, Sosa (LB for Stuttgart) would fit the system.
I feel like since Ronaldo's arrival, they have been more dependent on him in creating chances and goals, whether this is deliberate or not. But imo it hasn't improved the team
I do want to point out that the one point difference last season is also caused by Juve being sure of the title 3 gemes before the end of the season. They didn't play to their full strenth afterwards and it showed.
I think the only Problem is the insane expectation from any Juve Trainer by the public tbh Pirlo is doing a wonderful Job despite the insane competition in Serie A this Season from Teams that are performing exceedingly well like Roma, Milan and Inter
Big up Tifo. Ive been waiting for this. As a neutral, Pirlo should be given time. He has ideas. Back him up!
make a video like this on Barca that shud be interesting as they are also a team/club in transition
Love the Pirlo statue. But the Ronaldo one😦
you forget to mention other competitors have established their team and tactics, plus juve dont have time to friendly match to blend their team with new manager and new transfers which is many expected to become starting line up.
IMO Pirlo is doing two things right as a manager - bringing a lot more younger players into the mix to fix a previously aging Juve squad (such as Chiesa, Kulusevski, McKennie and Frabotta alongside the likes of De Ligt and Demiral in the team), as well as tweaking the tactics in order to overcome the problems of Sarri's football last season. Sure, it was not a perfect start for a club of Juventus' standards, but the signs of massive improvement are evident as the players are finally clicking to his tactics, and the long-term fruits will be worth it for the club. I say give Pirlo a chance.
Make a video on Jaoa Cancelo role in the city team and his movement
We're with you men
...Of course you're gonna mention something about Pirlo's Thesis!
Good video but some clear issues are not touched. Pressed is better but is still weak and ineffective compared to other top pressing teams and it ruins defensive structure so team is worse prepared to face attacks when press fails. Pirlo also tries to keep high line with juve but it doesnt fit multiple defenders (especially Bonucci) what causes even less defensive stability and makes the players look bad.
Juventus won serie A for 7 consecutive years, but now after someone come everything changes.. if I speak I'm in trouble 🤐
I kept waiting for an answer to the question posed by the video, and was surprised given the deep analysis never to get one. Is the problem simply poor finishing?
I was just searching for ”Tifo Football” and then I got this notification lol
No one ask
@@pewpew5844 lmao
Bonkers you effing mad lad! Get it on tiktok now!
Can u do a psg pochettino tactical analysis pls
Pirlo clearly likes total football (a style of play that makes sure that no position is left unoccupied)
NOTHING IS WRONG AT JUVE.. You cant win them all! Inter and Milan are just making a comeback(about time) this makes Serie A more dynamic, A good thing. Atalanta, Roma, Napoli and Lazio also playing better. Overall SERIE A Is getting🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
honestly, everything that Pirlo and Juve are trying to do are very standard in modern football.
We will be fine. this is just a result of having no preseason and a coach who is learning on the fly. his system is interesting and unique with lots of potential
@Real Steve no way it’s a possibility lmao get real. The difference with Zidanes team and our team is Zidane actually had a world class team. We have a few world class players but it’s not enough
We are settling inti rhythm.2021 thus far except the match vs inter. This is long project & i think we are doing well. Also vs SPAL in copa italia & also vs genoa we won with youngsters. Good thing take time. Plus we had injury problems & dearth of good fullbacks. In mid apart from weston others are not upto mark being mostly hit & miss. We expect more from kulusveski. We missed cuadrado sandro too. Cuadrado specially has become imp with his crosses.Sandro can give good crosses. Chiesa with his speed & individual capacity is a great player. I think we need this transition. Pirlo is flexible & want to learn. Already we won super cup. So time to have patience. Oh & mckennie is a huge talent. His positional sense is great , has great attacking intelligence, runs all over field, a player which suits pirlo system in taking back posession of the ball as early as possible. Only problem is his finishing. One drawback of pirlo system i think is we are prone to counter attacks. Also build from back lead to errors due to pressing by opponents & we dont have a mid with a great vision, so we see silly mistakes & obvious runs ignored sometimes. Morata is doing great & is one of our answer to striker problem.
Lol to the Ronaldo statue reference 😂
The way you read the ppda stat was as if they're pressing far more but their ppda actually dropped. Any reason you didn't mention this?
Hi Tifo Football! Mi view - list of things are going wrong with Juventus: - Andrea Pirlo It's been nearly 6 months now from the start of the season so we can summarize a bit. You say one of Pirlo's key principles is build up from behind - true. Problem is: the team is very poor at doing it. Reasons? In my opinion, it is very easy for the opponent to predict how they would build up/what player to mark. In most occasions, Juve ends up looking for players centrally, where they have more quality players. I think that if tomorrow Juve is playing vs Atalanta, which is the best team in SerieA at ultraoffensive pressing and now in great shape, they'd never pass their midfield. Another principle: Pirlo believes in technical skills and creative play/improvisation in the attacking third - true. Problem is: the most creative player (Dybala) was mostly sitting on the bench, he played 1 great match against AC Milan and now got injured. What remains is: Morata, Ronaldo (worst Ronaldo ever seen), Chiesa, Kulusevsky. I would define as "creative" just 1 out of these 4 players, the Swedish. And he's a kid coming from Parma. Other issues: - team's attitude on the pitch - in 10 years, never seen Juventus defending so passively. The team always looks vulnerable when defending in its area. - offensive pressing. They are often poorly coordinated when pressing the opponent during its build up; the opponent is therefore overtaking easily the pressing line, creating a situation of open ball with Juventus 50m far from its goal. That's exactly what happened against Inter, for instance. - lack of coach guidance/judgement during games. But this is actually something I wouldn't focus on, as Pirlo has no coaching experience before Juventus, not his fault really Despite this, Juventus have such strong players they managed to be 7 points far from the 1st place today. I have great respect of coaches' job, but I have to say Pirlo is doing a mess with the best team in SerieA. He's lucky he has been Juve's President choice, so he's still sitting on that bench... by now
Do liverpool bcs i need to know y my team is inconsistent
do a whats going right at west ham video next 😉
Juventus has changed his style, losing the serie A is pretty normal. And the squad need at least a player in every role The future is bright for Juventus
Why have you changed your fonts and style?
Maybe his problem is he already announced his playbook before the season started? Any decent coach will study the shit out of it to look for any advantages. Juve started with a handicap purposely. Pirlo is also new to have mutiple playbook for backup plan.
Lol no, he said in his thesis that he prefers to play with a 433. But he changed it up because he wanted to fit Ronaldo in a front two, instead of letting him be a winger. Also, our midfield is very poor, that's why he wanted the playmaking to go to Cuadrado and Dybala if he'd in form. Our main issue is that we don't have a specialist DM who can help out in transitions. That's where Pirlo has failed the most for me. The high line with Bonucci struggling to run fast, along with the midfield going even further up field is a recipe for disaster. A good sign is that Pirlo seems to have identified that Arthur, Bentancur and McKennie is our best midfield for now
Legends
Pirlo just needs to be given time juves squad needs to be refreshed with the right players for his system to work
Who's feeling nostalgic and want the 90s, 00s Seria a to be back, although juve is my favorite Italian team, they've dominated too long we need competition
With competition, Juve can reach new heights and emulate the 96, 97, 98 teams which was the best team in the world (possibly ever)
@@v2eqi right, but we need someone like baggio, del piero and vialli to get back to these levels, or maybe like 05-06 era
@@v2eqi chill lmao I’m a Juve fan but that wasn’t even the best Italian team ever. Best Juve ever 100% but we’re nowhere near that in terms of quality
Well, it's more like Serie A is more competitive this year than the past decade (which makes it exciting). Besides, Pirlo is a fairly new manager and has no experience yet so give him a little bit of time to settle down.
This is a great video
Considering: 1 - Pirlo has never coached before, ever 2 - Team had no pre-season thanks to COVID 3 - Lots of new and young players in the squad playing together for the first time this season 4 - New tactics and game plan compared to Sarri and Allegri To be only 7 points off the top spot with a game in-hand and still half the season to go, I'd say they're doing pretty damn good.
It's a young team with a whole new philosophy. Give it time ffs. Atleast they are fun to watch rather than boring Sarriball.
I get bored with this one a lot too but not as much
Pirlo wants to play with possesión and Juventus was acostumed to be a Defensive team... Thats why Sarri also struggled... Making a team change to a diffrent style is really hard.
Sarri converted Juve into a possession football club. They didn't struggle. However, Sarri has only one way of playing. No tactical variation. Pirlo on the other hand seems very versatile. Juventus are playing better under Pirlo.
Well, you didn't say what is wrong, so it was a bit of a clickbait, but at least everything you said was right. I think the problem with Pirlo is that he is a novice trying to run before learning how to crawl; he didn't have a preseason and expected to start playing with extremely high pressure and 5 men attacks, and we struggled a lot with that, specially in the first game against Barsa in champions. Then he decided to lower the pressure and to play more calmly and we are doing way better, but the team needs a lot of work; he wants to play total football with players rotating but either in attack or defence I see the players confused/lost. And the main issue is the midfield, no matter who starts, they all seem a bit off in terms of positioning, in marking and specially in build up play, that's why we rely so much on the wings and Cuadrado is the player with the most assists, but on the other wing we have Fabrotta, who, let's face it, doesn't have the skills to play at Juve. I think a player like Pogba, Aouar or De Paul could help in the build up play, I like Locatelli too, but I'm not sure if he is the man we need. And we definitely need to get Pellegrini back.
As a Juve fan I have to say that this video hasn’t shown the REAL problem at Juve. The problem at Juve is Bonucci, the injuries at defense and the underwhelming performance of the midfield (except Arthur and McKennie), Bonucci has caused nearly all penalties against Juve last two seasons (2019-2021), the injured defense has caused lot of rotation and mismatches that opponents have taken advantage (Hakimi > Frabotta), and Bernardeschi, Bentancur, Rabiot and Ramsey have been so inconsistent and with poor performances against both title contenders and relegation teams. At least the team showed their true potential against Milan and dominated the Supercoppa.
Nothing is wrong Pirlo didnt have a preseason, so he cannot train his team tacticaly (and with 2 games per week, he cannot do it now either) I think we didnt fully realize that : without a preseason, in the modern era, that's impossible to work properly. Tuchel and Pochetino this year will work on mental, physical preparation maybe, and tactical but they cant organize great sessions with all the squad Against Juve, Inter is very strong with a style worked since summer 2019, and Milan is in a incredible form since the last summer And despite that Juve isnt far, so they can still win the title But even if the dont, nothing better could be done now

As a juve fan I agree but I can firmly confirm that we are improving
One bright side is De Ligt. He has potential to be the best defender in the world he's been amazing at the back
7 points behind with a game in hand... Yeah Juve are doomed🤣
And Ronaldo fans have the Gaul to criticize Barca

@@prometheustv6558 Barcelona finished in second behind Juve in the UCL group, have already won a trophy this season, which Barca wont. So Ronaldo's team(Juve)>Barcelona.
@@rachitchawla7412 They only finished 2nd on head to head points, if it was based on goal difference Barca would be ahead. It took a last minute goalkeeper mistake for them to beat a Hungarian team at home. Not to mention the fact that they’re now in 4th place in a league that they dominated for years. Whereas Barca are in 3rd place in a league where they haven’t been entirely dominant in. Oh and pretty much no one takes Supercups seriously.

Are you gonna do a video on West ham like they are literally 4th in the league
Why not one on Celtic massive collapse?
@Fabian Deasy Epl could be one by a club from a town this year
Tifo’s at it again
Give him time like a good wine. I thinks he builds a very good team with good young players like frabotta, dragusin and so on.
Frabotta is average but I like dragusin
Do a video about west brom
Nice video again! BTW, I wanted Tifo to do a ... What’s going wrong at Arsenal? Nevermind, it doesn't matter now.
Here are 2 main tactical issues with this Juve so far, since the video fails to show what its title says: 1- Juve's defensive shape. Absolute mess. The transitioning from back 3 to back 4 during play appears, expectedly, not an easy task. It keeps creating so many marking mistakes. Danilo might be doing better this season as a hybrid 3rd center back/full back, but he's no Barzagli. 2: Their pressing plan is still not working. Honestly, it seems rather random. Players do not seem to know ahead which opponent they're supposed to pressure. Both issues are kinda related; the team is just not good without the ball.
Allegri was the best but he couldn't figure out how to pair CR7 & dybala
The problem is simply that Pirlo, so far, is no one as a coach. In Italy, football is more tactical and pragmatic. Tactical skills and pragmatism are only gained with experience though, while Pirlo has none as a manager. Historically in Serie A, "freshman" coaches have often failed in the first few years, while experienced coaches with years of work behind are just more successful. Juve hoped to repeat what Zidane made at Madrid with Pirlo, but football is different in Italy and Spain.
