9 of the last 14 Juventus goals have come from the Serbian, his 15 this season are equal to the total of the other strikers. But the other departments have also declined
Dusan Vlahovic’s disqualification opens up the challenge for Allegri to look for goals elsewhere. Already “only” the fifth attack of the championship in terms of goals scored, behind not only Inter but also Roma, Milan and Atalanta, against the Goddess Juventus finds itself having to do without the man from whom 9 of the last came 14 Juventus goals. The 15 goals scored this season by the Serbian striker, 36% of the team’s 42 goals scored in Serie A, are as many as those scored by all the other Juve attackers put together: Chiesa has 7 goals this season, Milik has 5, Yildiz at 3.
THE GOALS OF THE ATTACKERS
—
Among these, Chiesa has just recovered after 47 days of abstinence since his last goal, the 3-0 in the 90th minute against Sassuolo, which in turn before Napoli was the only goal scored by the former Viola in the last two months and half, also dotted with physical stops. Milik, on the other hand, hasn’t scored in Serie A for five months, since the derby with Torino, excluding the outburst against Frosinone in the Italian Cup. The last time Yildiz scored in the league was also his first, with Frosinone before Christmas. Kean has never scored during the season, despite having played continuously before stopping in mid-December due to a tibia injury and, now expected to return, in the meantime he had practically been sold.
OTHER DEPARTMENTS AND ATALANTA GOALS
—
The engine of the beginning of the season, once the first wave of the Vlahovic-Chiesa duo is exhausted, what is missing are goals from other departments, thanks also to set pieces. But the first of the non-striking scorers is also missing, Rabiot, who has scored four goals so far. The law of large numbers, which is not exactly a tactical reading of the match, would call Kostic and McKennie, who in the past have shown that they have scoring skills but this year they are still at zero. It will certainly help to anesthetize Atalanta’s offensive potential: as in the first leg, when Juve was the first team in the season to hold the Dea to zero goals, who other than that day were then only without a goal against Turin , Bologna and Inter. But even in that case, far from easy, Allegri will still need to find someone to throw it in.
