Wake up! Juventus urgently needs to recognize the gap, good news! Bremer is about to return

After losing to Manchester City 2-5, Tudor and Juventus suffered their first defeat in this Club World Cup and their ranking fell to second in Group G. Since in another game in Group H, Real Madrid defeated Salzburg Red Bull 3-0, ranking first in Group H. According to the rules, Juventus will meet Real Madrid in the knockout stage. This is another difficult game for Juventus. It is not surprising that it lost to Manchester City in the match between Manchester City, Tudor made adjustments to the starting lineup. Ilditz, Concesan Jr. and Muani, who performed well in the first two rounds, sat on the bench, and Kuppmenas, Gonzalez and Vlahovic started.

Facts have proved that Tudor's change of teams is not clever. Although Kuppmenas made a mistake in Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson to score a goal, Juventus was in a position of being behind and beaten in the whole first half. The three left, center and right sides became scattered under the impact of Manchester City stars such as Marmush, Doku, Nuri, Savignho. Kalulu's own own goal in desperation is a true portrayal of Juventus' players' confidence being dispersed.

In the second half, Tudor urgently replaced Ildidz. However, in addition to adding several shot opportunities and providing an assist for Vlahovic, Ildidz could not bring more help to Juventus. In contrast, in Manchester City, Guardiola's back hand was undoubtedly thicker. Haaland and Foden scored goals one after another after they came on the bench, directly extinguishing Juventus' hope of counterattack.

It is not difficult to see from the post-match technical statistics that Juventus lags significantly behind Manchester City in terms of the number of shots, ball possession rate, pass success rate, corner kicks, offensive opportunities and dribbling success rate. If it weren't for Digregorio's saves before the end of the first and second half, Manchester City might have scored more goals in this game.

Digregorio made 7 saves in total, including 5 saves in the penalty area, proving his excellence with his actions.

After the game, Tudor admitted the gap between Juventus and Manchester City at a press conference, saying that "Manchester City is the strongest team in the world, just like Real Madrid." The implication is that Tudor has calmly accepted the failed ending.

Some Juventus fans believe that losing to Manchester City made Juventus realize the gap between himself and top teams. The dream brought by the first two big wins of Ain and Vadard has now been wiped out. If Tudor and Juventus players want to truly embark on the road to reconstruction, there is still a lot of work to do.

Juventus' other trends

Bremer is back!

In the game against Manchester City, the defensive core Bremer, who had been injured for nearly 9 months, appeared on the Juventus bench. Although he did not play, it was enough to boost Juventus fans. I believe that after the new season officially starts, Bremer will return to the stadium and become the ace leader of Juventus' defense again.

In addition, the negotiations between Mbangula and Weia Xiao’s joining Nottingham Forest encountered some twists and turns. Weia Xiao was not satisfied with the annual salary offered by Nottingham Forest, and was quite dissatisfied with Juventus’ removal from the Club World Cup lineup. According to well-known football reporter Skira, Weia Xiao has friendly rejected Nottingham Forest’s invitation, and Mbangula seemed to have pressed the pause button when he landed in the Premier League. Juventus needs to re-form a transfer strategy to try to send the two away as much as possible.

Is it really necessary to introduce Sancho or David Tengdi in such a hurry to see off Mbangula and Little Via? (Liu Duan)
