The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 259: No 9s, no goals for Juventus against AC Milan
November 25, 2024 · 60 min
With Dusan Vlahovic back in Turin with a muscle injury he picked up during the international break, Juventus’ attack was rather quiet as Thiago Motta tried to make a false nine setup work against Milan. In short, it didn’t work.
On Episode 259 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:
Takeaways from Juventus’ scoreless draw with Milan.
We know Juventus weren’t playing with a natural No. 9. So what went wrong with who Thiago Motta chose to play in that position?
Basically, the Teun Koopmeiners experiment as a false nine did not work at all.
Was there anything that Juventus actually did well against Milan? (Maybe!)
Juventus also have a big game in the Champions League against Aston Villa coming. So what the heck is going to happen if they are without Dusan Vlahovic again?
Social media questions for the week — including how happy Juve should be with a point against Milan rather than getting a win in a very winnable game, and what is becoming the biggest priority when the January transfer window arrives knowing that the injuries just keep on coming in both attack and defense.
