In his editorial on TJ, Massimo Pavan spoke about Juventus in light of the Champions League defeat against Benfica. Here are his words, “We are no longer laughing, there is nothing to laugh about, we had digested an unexciting round of Champions, the defeat to Stuttgart and all that could follow, but not tonight. The fans were moving in the second half, they were unique and encouraged the team. The defeat is hard to accept because we were hoping to see a reaction after Napoli, we were hoping to see a different team and it takes a different character and strength. The team appeared totally in disarray, partly because of the absences, Cambiaso, Kalulu’s injury, with only one defender on the field, Gatti, other players all improvised or at least adapted, that’s not how you form a team.”

Pavan: “Juve senza personalità e coraggio”

The journalist continued: “To this we add mistakes and a team without personality, with players who have no courage and who do not drag anyone, not even themselves. In short, we can absolutely say that Juventus is a disappointment and that it must win back everything and everyone, starting with the basics, simple ones. Work, self-sacrifice and character. Danilo had talked about an “imaginative” project, let’s not get into corporate choices, but couldn’t Danilo be kept in the project at least until the end of the month?

The choice of Locatelli central, today was embarrassing, as was the defense deployed. We are all guilty if there is a failure of the project, of those who chose it, of those who are part of it but also of those like us who are supporting it out of passion and desire to rebuild, we don’t want everything and right away but to see hunger and focus and right passes at five meters, yes. We have to look in the mirror and commit ourselves to restart and be Juventus.” Read also Del Piero’s words after Juventus-Benfica <<<
