Juventus ended their pre-season tour with a 0-2 defeat at the hands of Atletico Madrid in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The Bianconeri dominated possession and had dangerous chances in the first half, but Dusan Vlahovic was far from clinical.
On the other hand, Diego Simeone’s men managed to find the back of the net early in the second half thanks to Joao Felix who made an immediate impact upon his entry.
The Cochoneros then sealed the win thanks to a spot-kick converted by Angel Correa.
Despite Juve’s defeat, there were some encouraging signs both on the individual and collective levels.
In their player ratings, IlBianconero identified Khephren Thuram as the club’s best performer. The 23-year-old won possession on countless occasions and did fairly well in the buildup phase.
Manuel Locatelli and Douglas Luiz weren’t too far behind, also producing an encouraging display in the middle of the park. The same goes for Timothy Weah who caused havoc on the right wing on a few occasions.
On the contrary, Vlahovic received the lowest grade among the starters after squandering several scoring opportunities.
Nicolo Fagioli also failed to make an impact after taking the field in the second half.
Juventus (4-1-4-1): Di Gregorio (6.5); Cambiaso (6), Gatti (6), Bremer (6), Cabal (5.5); Thuram (7); Weah (6.5), Locatelli (6.5), Douglas Luiz (6.5), Yildiz (6); Vlahovic (5) – Subs: Danilo (5.5), Fagioli (5) – Coach. Thiago Motta (6.5)
jajajaja
Clueless guillotine and Motta will call Chiesa for the next match to play as the new striker :)))))))))))
I was quite sure every manager who doesn’t like Chiesa turns out to be a failure.
Meanwhile Vlahovic earns a frightening amount of money :))))))))))
I truly hope Vlahovic will reinvent himself this season… I get the feeling more and more that he’s not the right guy for Juventus.
Maybe Milik can do some damage this season.
I have said over and over that Dusan V is overrated and over-priced.
How Juve and various pundits can fuss over a player that is off target literally every much, is totally insane. And yes, he is milking Juve.
Why did Allegri take Dusan for a series of target practices at the beginning of last season. And why does Dusan’s national team coach not regard him as their no 1 striker ????
And yes, just analyze the few matches that Milik played for Juve. He not only scored critical goals, he also gets the team to play better and create goals immediately he steps onto the field.
How does Juve miss all this? Or are they too arrogant to acknowledge their stuff up. And then throw in the situation with the Juve no1 keeper who had given solid years to the Juve cause. It’s not right to treat your passionate players like that.
And add to that Soulé and the other academic players who had their dreams shattered by the new regime.
What a new season we gonna have at Juve. Oh boy ???

A mid-table team right now, and the roster decisions seem self-defeating. Cabal? SMH
Watched the whole match. DV9 no more than 3, Loca no more than 4. I prefer to seeing these two leave than Chiesa. Fagioli was a disaster too, 2 deliberate and soft like a pussy.
DV9 is the worst ever transfer in the history.
