A bit of a surprise but also a normal one, juve lost 3-0 at home to Villarreal in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. It is true that the course of the game is not as messy as the score reaction, but for Juve, the exit is the most critical and painful, and it has little to do with losing a few. The surprise of this is that basically everyone is optimistic that Juve can at least not lose to their opponents at home, and the normal thing is that this team has always been a disappointing presence in the Champions League.
This Time the Champions League is out, Juve has been eliminated at this stage for 2 consecutive years, and the opponents are not strong, the last time was Porto, this time it is Villarreal, these 2 teams are not the top teams in Europe, but Juve is exactly facing such an opponent, it seems that there is a big package of cases or eliminated, which shows that the team is indeed a problem. It's just that unlike the last time, many people think that C Ronaldo is dragging down the whole team, this time, the problem is essentially inherent in juve as a team.
First of all, the team's managerial selection is very unsuccessful, last season, the team's choice of Pirlo was a complete mistake, but this season now it seems that the choice of Allegri is not a correct decision. It is true that Allegri has led Juve to the Champions League final twice in the previous years, but that was before. After a period of idleness, coupled with the limited resources of the team, Allegri now seems to have no way to face Juve.
Like many Italian coaches, Allegri's coaching style is very boring, he used to create some surprises, but after being eliminated by Ajax in the Champions League, he became extremely conservative, and the shadow brought by the last time he coached Juve still affects his coaching here. Coupled with the limited resources of the team, it is normal for Juve not to be able to get good results in the Champions League.
Secondly, many of the players on this team are very general, which was actually pointed out by many people in the era of Ronaldo, but the common view at that time was that Ronaldo would lead the team forward since he came to Juve, rather than let others serve him. But when Cristiano Ronaldo left, it was found that most of the players on this team were out of tune, the most representative of which were Dybala and De Ligt. They were once seen as the future of this team, but the former because of his own style characteristics are not prominent, coupled with the presence of C Ronaldo, it has been difficult for him to grow to the heights that people expect. As for De Ligt, the defender, maybe he does have talent, but judging from his long-term rash performance after joining Juve, he did not show the feeling and possibility of having a super defender.
Finally, I also want to point out Juve's reinforcement strategy, this team gives people a very strange feeling that they are not willing to spend a lot of money when they should spend money, and when they should not spend money, they are busy spending money to buy people, it cannot be said that this time they bought Vlahović and the previous Locatelli is not good enough, but every important reinforcement of Juve has not rushed to the most correct time. A few years ago, when the team reached the final of the Champions League, the team was unwilling to throw money, and when there was C Ronaldo, it was not willing, but now the overall strength of the team has seriously declined, and it is willing to spend money. Such a chaotic and incomprehensible operating idea is also one of the key factors in the team's current rout.
