At 0:00 Beijing time on October 31, a match in the 11th round of Serie A began to compete, and Juventus challenged Verona away. Juventus has a bad record this season, with only 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in the first 10 rounds, and is far behind by the top two Napoli and AC Milan, and the title competition is very bad. Juventus have not won the last two league rounds, first in a 1-1 draw away to Inter Milan, and then returned home to lose 1-2 to Sassuolo. Juventus have a lot of problems on both the offensive and defensive ends. This time Juventus is against Verona. The two sides played each other in two legs last season in a draw. As a result, Juventus lost to Verona today, suffering two consecutive defeats.
Juventus were lined up in a 442 formation for this match. Szczesny served as the starting goalkeeper. Sandro, Chiellini, Bonucci and Danilo are paired at 4 backs. Rabio, Artur, Bentancourt and Cuadrado make up four midfielders. Morata and Dybala's two strikers joined forces. Jorge, Locatelli, Kulusevsky, Bernardeski and De Ligt sat on the bench. Desilio and Keane are out with injuries. Verona was in the 3421 formation, with Giovanni Simeone, Ballack and Caprari starting.
Verona, who played at home after the start of the game, played sharply, constantly attacking Juventus' goal. Under pressure from Verona, Juve's players have performed somewhat awkwardly. Giovanni Simeone broke through the Szczesny-guarded goal in the 11th minute. Three minutes later he scored a shot that gave Verona an early lead of two goals. After scoring 2 goals, Verona was somewhat restrained, while Juve gradually stepped up their attack. Dybala was active, trying to shoot multiple times, and the closest to scoring was blocked by the crossbar. Juventus trailed 2-0 at half-time. Juventus had 50% possession in the first half, 1 on target in 7 shots, 1 in the frame and failed to score. Verona also had seven shots on goal in the first half, but the quality of the shots was much higher, scoring 2 goals on 4 shots.
In the second half, Verona was still mainly defensive, after all, the lead was relatively large, and they did not dare to be too aggressive to bury the good situation. Juventus had no choice but to keep attacking. It wasn't until the 80th minute of the game that Juventus finally scored a goal, with McKenny coming on as a substitute. Juventus then had a chance to equalise, but unfortunately, Dybala's long-range shot was deflected by the goalkeeper. The final score was set at 1-2, and Juventus lost to Verona, breaking a cold score. Juventus have not won 3 consecutive games, which is too bad.
Juventus' first 11 rounds were 4 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses, and they only scored 15 points to rank 8th, scoring 15 goals and conceding 15 goals. This is the first time since the 1961/62 season that Juventus has conceded 15 goals after the first 11 rounds of Serie A, and Allegri has set a 60-year record of humiliation. Meanwhile, juggling only 15 points in the first 11 rounds was Juventus' second-worst result in the same period in the last 50 years. In this game, Dybala fired 8 shots on goal, only 1 shot was on target and 0 goals were scored. Although Morata had 5 key passes, 2 shots were unreliable.
