Even if you have talent, you can use it up. Juventus’ first defeat of the season = Tudor’s dismissal signal?

Sports Weekly All Media Special Correspondent in Italy Xiao Wu

Juventus suffered its first defeat of the season, but it seems that the entire season has ended early.

Fans are not fools. They can tell whether there is content or not. The victory in the Italian national derby is certainly worthy of joy and celebration. However, most people still stayed awake in the atmosphere of celebration. After that thrilling 4-3 game, Tudor led the team to a record of 5 draws and 1 loss. These 6 games have gone from bad to worse, with the exchange of blows against Dortmund, and the difficulties of playing against Verona and Atalanta. Until the first half against Villarreal, you felt that the lower limit had been exceeded. However, Juventus did not bottom out and rebounded. The away loss to Como just opened the last fig leaf of the unbeaten season.

In fact, this game is a good opportunity for Juventus, because Como does not have a serious winger in the starting lineup, Assan Diaw and Adday are injured, Rodriguez is suspended, Qun has just recovered from injury and is under protection and does not risk sending him to play. What is the concept of a team that plays a 4-2-3-1 system without wingers? You can imagine that Juventus does not have Yildiz, Conceição, Openda and Gegrova, so this is a team with an unstable system. Fabregas has no choice but to let full-back Wojvoda and midfielder Cakre make guest appearances. The performance of the two people can be said to have no highlights, and they are the worst in Como.

But even Como, who was lame on both legs, Tudor had no way to deal with it. If conceding a goal at a set piece was an accident, then Juventus was also lackluster in the transition between offense and defense, and was even disjointed at one point, leaving a vacuum in the midfield. It is conceivable that if the Como winger is still there, Juventus may lose even more miserably.

Without wingers, there is no wing speed. In the past few games, Como's problems have been revealed. They can only rely on high-pressure pressing and high consumption of midfield defenders to attack in turns. The risks of cards and injuries are not small. This is why Como has people with yellow cards and injuries in almost every game. Juventus once relied on ball-carrying players to cause damage, but they could not create enough opportunities to score goals in the goal area.

The core performances of the two teams were in sharp contrast. With 1 goal and 1 assist, Paz once again shined in the game and became the biggest contributor to the victory over Juventus. Yildiz, on the other hand, seemed mentally and physically exhausted, and occasionally had wonderful performances, but in the end he was unable to recover. This is entirely a difference caused by different usage methods. When Platini participated in the Trento Sports Festival, he raised a question when reporters asked him: Why does the No. 10 player go to the wing? The media's "making things out of nothing" caused Tudor's dissatisfaction. The Croatian coach said before the game that Yildiz actually played in the middle most of the time. As a rebuttal argument, it was not very convincing.

Look at how Fabregas uses Nico Paz, pooling the resources of the entire team, even at the expense of other players getting cards and injuries, and using Paz’s most striking advantage. This is determined by Como’s size, which also includes the willingness to take the initiative. Fabregas has the awareness to cultivate stars. Tudor is just the opposite. He has indeed established Yildiz as the absolute core, but it is a rough shoulder-to-shoulder model. Yildiz is required to score goals, drop back to catch the ball, and take the ball out of dangerous areas to help his teammates reduce consumption. These tasks must be completed by the 20-year-old Turkish teenager, but every three days does not give him any chance to breathe. This is to rely on being young, strong, and relatively durable. When Yildiz is exhausted and injured during training, there is really no hope at all.

So on the one hand, the teammates are consumed to lift Paz, and on the other hand, Yildiz is allowed to be both a father and a mother. What is consumed is a talented player like Yildiz, which can only fall into a vicious cycle. Tudor suffered from severe "Yildiz dependence", and this is still an incurable terminal illness. If this was at the expense of good results, then that's it. Now that the results are gone, Yildiz is useless, and Tudor doesn't occupy both ends, and he can be called the number one sinner.

Juventus’ frontcourt resources will definitely be the envy of all coaches in Serie A. There should be many combinations of different types and sizes. However, this road is getting worse and worse. Yildiz on the left and Conceição on the right. When they get the ball, they just head forward and carry it forward. Without the sorting out of the midfield, no matter how strong the front is, they will not be able to exert their power. Not to mention the embarrassing situation of the center. Both the starting David and the substitute Vlahovich can only serve as tactical coolies. One was once the best forward in Ligue 1, and the other was once the top scorer in Serie A. There are some objective reasons for their abnormal performance, but Tudor is definitely to blame.

Interestingly, just before this game, well-known transfer news expert Moreto broke the news in a video that Comolli, who was promoted to Juventus CEO, and Tudor have a cold relationship. Each subsequent game will be a test for the coach, and the result is first Tudor messed up on the field. Perhaps it was just what Comolli wanted. This manager, who has always been resolute and resolute, maybe the next step is to get rid of the "previous" coach and cultivate a confidant of his own, but I don't know how long Juventus' chaos will last.
