Ineffective shopping, Juventus faces difficulties

(Baonghean.vn) - Juventus's humiliating 0-2 defeat to Tottenham in a recent friendly match is a warning bell about a difficult season ahead for coach Allegri and his team.

Since returning to SERIE A after the Calciopoli scandal, the tifosi have never witnessed Juventus' poor preparation for the new season like this. Alves and Bonucci left Turin to join PSG and AC Milan respectively, leaving behind voids that are difficult to fill at the Juventus Arena.

Those two losses would not have been a cause for concern if Juventus's management had been more efficient in the transfer market. But so far, things have not been going smoothly for Italy's most successful team. Most of Allegri's desired targets have turned their backs on Juventus to choose other destinations.

A typical example is the case of Matic and Danilo. The “Old Lady of Turin” was the strongest candidate for the possibility of owning the signature of the Serbian midfielder when continuously making offers to the home team Chelsea and Matic personally. Disagreements in the negotiation process between Juventus and Chelsea caused the deal to fall through. In the end, Matic became a MU player.

The same is true of Danilo. Coach Allegri sees the Real Madrid player as the number one option for the right-back position left by Alves. Few people doubted Juventus' chances of success in this deal. For some reason, the Juventus Arena team unfortunately let the Brazilian player slip away to Chelsea.

Having only welcomed two new players, Douglas Costa - Szczesny, it is clear that they cannot satisfy coach Allegri and Juventus fans. The 2017 - 2018 season is predicted to be extremely fierce. Not to mention the Champions League arena, but in domestic tournaments (SERIE A, Copa Italia), Juventus' position is also being threatened by the revival of AC Milan, Inter Milan or AS Roma...

Juventus fans are getting impatient with the slow progress of their team in the transfer market. At this time, those who love the “Old Lady of Turin” hope that the team’s management will create a “blockbuster” deal like Higuain last season. The 2017 summer transfer market is less than a month away, the opportunity for Juventus to bring in quality stars is extremely difficult.

Juventus Arena is facing a stormy season, starting with inefficiency in the transfer market. This is something that rarely happens in a team as good at buying and selling as Juventus.
