Many uncertainties for the goalkeeper of the Juventus. He will have to return to Juventus level for the lady’s ambitions
The goleads are perfect for the neutral fans: goals here, goals beyond, escapes, overtaking and counter -rough and, if the evening must be spectacular, perhaps in the recovery minutes the result still changes with unexpected twists. Juventus-Inter 4-3 and Juventus-Borussia Dortmund 4-4 were so, with 15 goals in 180 ‘more recovery and, indeed, three of these-all bianconeri-made the people of the Allianz Stadium exult over 90’. A victory and a draw in two cartel games are a good booty for Igor Tudor’s men, but the points caught in the match finals were not enough to hide from the fans – and not only – some uncertainty of too much by Michele Di Gregorio, who for seven times in everything had to collect the ball at the bottom of the net.
the episodes

Obviously a goal immediately is not – almost – never exclusive responsibility of the goalkeeper and, in fact, Tudor knows that he must record the entire defensive phase of the team, but both in Serie A and in the Champions League, the former Monza seemed more surprised than the necessary on several occasions. Just as too easily the opponents arrived at the shot, too easily those conclusions in the mirror had luck: a parade for game is not enough for the standards required by the black and white history and of Gregory he knows, he who knows how to treasure both compliments and constructive criticisms, both fundamental ingredients to grow. Against Inter the responsibilities were not evident, but on at least two networks he could have made better than the aforementioned freedom granted to Hakan Calhanoglu at the edge of the area and the non-marcus Thuram on a corner kick. Against Borussia Dortmund was undoubtedly worse: nothing to say about the hit of Karim Adeyemi who unlocked the result with a “snipe” under the crossroads, but before he had already risked the patatrac with a “cheerful” exit and the consequent pole hit by Maximilian Beier. Then, on Felix Nmecha 1-2 the goalkeeper did not even dive and the 2-3 was undoubtedly the worst slip of an evening to forget: Yan Couto blowing the ball to Khephren Thuram and lightning of Gregorio by kicking on the first pole. There, just, it cannot be thought of over 40 thousand of the Allianz Stadium.
pressure

In Juventus home there is no desire to rage on Di Gregorio in a delicate moment, but indeed it is more logical to protect a owner in which it is believed and so last season 18 million euros were spent between onerous loan and redemption for more than 800 thousand euros in commissions. To these, are added the 18 million gross salary for five years of contract: 36.8 in all to arm the door. Certainly, now the shirt weighs more: just when Juventus is restoring the ambitions that are entitled to it by history and DNA, the lady cannot afford to leave points for uncertainties on the street that are not isolated cases. The role of the goalkeeper is delicate is very exposed to errors and criticisms, so Michele knows that in moments like these he must focus on the field and find the necessary serenity. All to return to Juventus at the level: it is a must.
