Tudor too many draws like Thiago Motta’s Juve

This year Juve in the championship sees the opposing door more and kicks more both from outside and from inside the area. Tudor’s men dialogue more among them in the offensive area and the cross percentage of cross has increased as the shots (in general and in the mirror) are more than a year ago. It is an unbeaten team – after five days was also that of Thiago Motta – and boasts one more victory than twelve months ago when in this period the lady began to demonstrate the symptoms of one acute draw which then became worrying and anteroom of the decline and farewell of the Italian-Brazilian. Now, however, also Tudor, after returning with the X sign also from the trip to Vila-Real which has become the fourth equal in a row (trends that had not occurred since the period November-December 2024), has entered a tunnel of draws from which it must go out so as not to lose other ground in the standings, now that it is located behind the Milan-Napoli-Rome triptych. Compared to these leaders, Juve has the advantage of being still unbeaten but the two draws (with three wins) weigh in the negative more than the only defeat that the first three collected in the face of four successes.

In the championship, yesterday and today

–

Tudor equalized, yes, but he does it differently than Motta a year ago. This Juve (11 points after the first five days, two more than 9 last year in the same period) is more proactive: 16.8 shots per game against 10.6 of the past season, an average of 5.80 of shots in goal (and no more 3.40) and beyond double conclusions from outside (7.40 against 3). The percentage of XG is also greater this year (6.12 compared to 4.14 of a year ago) and in the end the actual number of goals scored is greater: 9, three more, with a percentage of ball possession remained almost almost unchanged. So despite the current critical issues of the attack, this Juve finds more and better the opposing door. Music changes when the focus moves to the defense, thanks to a practically impenetrable first motta and that after the top five of championship matches had not taken any goals. This year Juve has collected five. The speech changes slightly in the Champions League.

different European difficulties

–

What is certain is that, however, the opponents met in the first two days of the European Championship phase have also changed. Last season Juve in the first 180 minutes was found against a third -party team (PSV) and a first -rate one (Leipzig); This year another of first (Dortmund) and a second band (Villarreal). Motta had made it clear after the first two outings, Tudor two draws. Translated: now Juve has a third of the points compared to last year even if with the same number of goals scored. The problem, here too, is behind: the Juve of a year ago grossed half of the nets. And the number of parades per game has also changed: from an average of 4.50 of the year spent at 2.50 of this. The European journey is still long, the playoffs last season have been reached with 3 draws, 3 wins and 2 defeats but there are those who like Gatti saw the race to the Champions League round of 16 and not shortly after the peer with Villarreal: “They are two lost points that will weigh a lot in the long run”. We will see. Meanwhile, Tudor thinks about how to straighten the problems of a Juve who creates and he suffers is drawing more than last year in the same period, without forgetting that each drawing It is unique in its kind and each has its own care.
