Del Piero on Juventus crisis: ‘Not as if this team would win with another coach’ - Alessandro Del Piero insists Igor Tudor is ‘not the problem’ at Juventus and ‘it’s not as if with another coach this squad would win the Scudetto.’ ............ They are on their longest winless streak in all competition since 2009, as after five draws in a row between Serie A and the Champions League, they lost three on the bounce. ............ With Tudor continually chopping and changing the line-up and tactics, is there too much confusion on the bench? “I wouldn’t say confusion is the right word,” Del Piero said when analysing his beloved Juventus. “The coach is not the problem, it’s more complicated than that, and includes how the team has struggled to come together so far this season.” ............ Although there were 1-0 defeats to Real Madrid and Lazio, Del Piero still saw some signs of improvement. “The team was alive and did not deserve to lose tonight, perhaps a draw was the right result. They weren’t bad against Madrid either, the problem was the performance against Como. “In any case, it’s not as if with another coach this team would win the Scudetto.” ............ “Tudor doesn’t yet have a first choice XI, but it’s not because Tudor doesn’t want to find it, it’s because aside from a few individuals, the others have struggled to perform consistently. “If you look at the best teams in Italy and Europe, they more or less all have a regular XI that will start the big games.” .

Lazio 1-0 Juventus | Perin: ‘We must stay united – we’re not showing our level’ - Mattia Perin urged Juventus to stay united and rediscover their identity after a damaging 1-0 defeat away to Lazio, a result that deepens the pressure on Igor Tudor and extends the Bianconeri’s winless run. ............ Perin stressed that the mood in the dressing room is one of disappointment rather than resignation. “We feel a lot of sadness and frustration,” he said. “We train well during the week, but we’re not showing that in matches. It’s difficult to find a single answer, but we must stay united and compact, because right now we are not proving to be at the level we should be.” ............ “I already knew before Madrid that I would play,” Perin revealed. “But I can’t be happy when results aren’t coming. We believe in the coach’s ideas, and emotionally we like what he transmits to us. It’s difficult to understand why things aren’t working, but I’m sure we’ll raise our level.” ............ Perin also described a post-match discussion between the squad and Tudor aimed at stopping the slide. “We spoke to understand why these defeats are happening,” he explained. “There is the desire from everyone to get out of this as soon as possible. Fortunately, we play again in three days and that could help us turn this moment around.” ............ . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/lazio-1-0-juventus-perin-we-must-stay-united/

Lazio 1 - Juventus 0: Initial reaction and random observations - Another game has come and gone without Juventus winning. Or even getting a damn point. This team is spiraling. They’re out of ideas. They don’t have an identity. They don’t have that same fighting spirity we saw just six weeks ago in the Derby d’Italia comeback last month. And they’re not showing any sort of signs of snapping out of it — not even with what many viewed as an improved performance just four days earlier against Real Madrid in the Champions League. Instead, it was a third defeat in the span of eight days for Igor Tudor and Juventus with Sunday night’s 1-0 loss to Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico. It only extended the run of games without a win for Juventus — which stretches all the way back to that same victory over Inter Milan six weeks ago at the Allianz Stadium. Since then, Juventus have seemingly forgotten how to score, are looking totally bereft of anything that connects things in attack, are disorganized at the back, have a midfield that doesn’t make any sort of notable impact and don’t show many signs — if any — of snapping out of this funk with how things are currently being run. If Tudor wasn’t worried about his job status entering the trip to the Italian capital, you have to wonder just how much longer he has as Juventus’ manager and what the chat is going to be like following this loss. And to add a little extra salt in the wound, this was a Lazio side that had barely won at home during the 2025 calendar year. ............ It’s hard to know where this team can suddenly improve to potentially save Tudor’s job. They did good things against Real Madrid, sure, but then they come right back and look a lot like the team that lost to Como while facing Lazio. Lazio, to their credit, got the early goal and then just sat on it and dared Juventus to try and beat them. ............ Juve have gone four straight games without scoring a goal now — and it’s not like they’re looking like they’re just getting unlucky more than anything. ............ This isn’t solely Tudor’s fault nor should it be viewed that way. This roster, even when everybody is healthy, can be viewed as one that isn’t a complete one. The depth is an issue. The fact that they spent so much on the attack yet didn’t address the backline is being reflected now. But it’s not like he’s doing a lot to help this team. They need a spark in the worst possible way — and they continue to fail to actually find one. Doesn’t matter if it’s the players or the manager. ............ Should Juve have deserved a penalty when Chico Conceição’s foot was stomped on in the Lazio penalty area? Well, yeah. The fact that his foot got stepped on in the box, he went down and they didn’t even go to VAR to check is just another example of the systematic problem with a replay setup that is being run by folks who are also inconsistent at their job. Even without getting that penalty call, what did Juve show us today? What did they do well? What kind of sign did they show us that they are going to snap out of this and maybe go on some sort of run to get back into the top four. I don’t think they did. I know I’m not going to be alone in thinking that. With AC Milan’s draw with Pisa all the way back on Friday and Napoli’s win over Inter 24 hours earlier, Juventus (somehow) had the chance to get within three points of the new league leaders. Instead, they did what they did on Sunday night and are sitting in a very un-Juventus-like eighth place as they suddenly turn their attention to midweek Serie A action against Udinese and then a trip to Cremona to face Cremonese. I honestly have no idea if Tudor will be around to face either of those teams with how things are going. It was just another unwatchable performance from a team that is looking mediocre at best this season. There feels like no real in-house answer in sight. That might be the most worrying thing of all. RANDOM THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS ............ Honestly, it was so bad that actually paying complete attention to what Juventus was (or wasn’t) doing in the second half felt like a task in of itself. They are just 11 players out there right now with no sort of cohesion or tactical plan right now. And it’s not even November yet. And Kenan Yildiz, potential knee issue and all, is out there trying to will this team to a win? My man, I love you for that, but now is not the time to risk things for your future. Let’s face it, the way this current club is constructed and looking on the field, why would Yildiz want to commit long term to it? Hard to know how much that fact is playing into the prolonged contract negotiations, but you gotta feel at this point that it certainly ain’t helping at all. Just so we’re clear, though: Yes, it was a penalty and the fact they didn’t even check it just shows us (again) how inept these Serie A referees can be when it comes to important calls. ............ I’m pretty sure I lost count of how many long passes Manuel Locatelli tried against Lazio that went right to the other team. Boy, that header by David that was meant for a teammate but went right to somebody in light blue and turned into a goal five seconds later sure does sum up how things are going for him at Juventus. Remember the Juventus side that played quick and direct when Tudor first showed up in place of Thiago Motta in the spring? I miss that kind of team. This one just had so much possession against Lazio and failed to really do much of anything with it. Juventus attempted 34 crosses against Lazio. They were successful with six of them. ............ All that possession and Juve just barely outshot Lazio 14-13. Nice. ............ Chico as a quasi-wingback? Sure. why not. (At least he’s working his ass off out there, right?) It’s one thing for Andrea Cambiaso to get turned around by one of Real Madrid’s star attacking players. It’s another thing when it’s Gustav freakin’ Isaksen. ............ Since Juventus’ last win in September, they’re currently sitting just above the relegation zone when it comes to points earned over that span. Good times. ............

Lazio 1-0 Juventus – Alarming night of statistics for the Bianconeri Lazio emerged as 1-0 victors over Juventus this evening as the pressure continues to pile on Bianconeri head coach Igor Tudor. ............ For Igor Tudor, an initially strong start to the season has quickly eroded and now it seems as though his days are numbered in Turin. ............ As per Opta, it is the first time that the Old Lady have gone four games consecutively, in all competitions, without scoring, since 1991. Furthermore, it is the Bianconeri’s longest winless streak since 2009 when Claudio Ranieri was in charge. ............ To add insult to injury, it was Lazio’s fastest goal against Juventus since Giuseppe Favalli’s third-minute goal in March 1996. Overall, a dismal evening for Juventus as Tudor continues to break records, for all the wrong reasons. . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/lazio-1-0-juventus-alarming-night-of-statistic/

Tudor: ‘Juventus in a bad moment, but I don’t care about my future’ Igor Tudor was critical of Andrea Cambiaso and Jonathan David after Juventus suffered a third straight defeat to Lazio, but insisted he ‘doesn’t care about my future.’ ............ Tudor evidently wasn’t happy, as within 10 minutes he had Filip Kostic warming up and was shouting at Cambiaso, who was eventually replaced at half-time. ............ “Kostic was warming up because I saw Cambiaso was not doing well, but in general the team had the right attitude from the start, apart from Johnny’s error and that goal,” Tudor said. “It is a bad moment, a difficult moment, we need to stay united and all work together. There is disappointment, because I think we prepared it the right way, but we are always missing something. We get to the penalty area and then don’t put the ball in the net. “We also keep telling ourselves don’t make mistakes, but there is always a mistake, and we lose games. We feel terrible, but we have to stick together.” ............ Their biggest problem would seem to be clear, as this was Juve’s fourth consecutive match without scoring a goal, something they hadn’t seen since March 1991 under legendary flop Gigi Maifredi. “We tried with two strikers from the start, then four attacking players, we tried everything, but are certainly missing something upfront,” confessed Tudor. ............ “We are all responsible. We must try to do better and stay united, we have another game in a couple of days, I think a victory will get us on the right track. It’s a problem if we need four strikers to score and 10 midfielders when defending. It is a problem if someone always makes a mistake. “As I said, there’s no need to make a drama out of it, we play again soon and need to stay focused.” ............ “It was a decision because Kenan needed rest. Johnny and Dusan have goals in their blood, but we put the crosses in and in the final third someone has to put it in the net, otherwise nothing happens and you get punished for every tiny error at the back.” ............ “I saw Cambiaso was struggling with Isaksen and when attacking we wanted him to cover the whole wing, but I didn’t like the way Andrea was interpreting the role. McKennie can cover the wing and Andrea can be a mezz’ala, so I swapped them.” ............ “People keep asking me if I feel safe or worried, but I don’t think about myself. I don’t care about my future, what I care about is doing what I can, being aware of all the problems and trying to improve things. My future is of zero interest.” .

Juventus player ratings vs Lazio: David woeful at both ends Juventus extended their miserable run by suffering a third defeat in a week, this time at the hands of Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico. The Biancocelesti struck early through a deflected effort from Toma Basic, before retreating back and vigorously defending their lead for the rest of the contest. On the other hand, the Bianconeri were too slow and stagnant in attack to pose a threat to their opponents, even though the team’s display improved in the second half. ............ Juventus XI (4-4-2) Mattia Perin – 6 ............ Pierre Kalulu – 6 ............ Federico Gatti – 6.5 The Italian defender made a series of key interventions, including a goal-line clearance. Lloyd Kelly – 5 The former Newcastle man looked confused at times, and had trouble containing Gustav Isaksen. He ran the risk of receiving a second yellow card. Andrea Cambiaso – 6 The wing-back was arguably Juve’s most dangerous player in the first half. He defended well and put David through on goal, but was nowhere to be seen after the break. Francisco Conceicao – 6 The Portuguese tried to get something going, but his highlights were too few and far between. Perhaps he should have earned Juventus a spot-kick Teun Koopmeiners – 5.5 The Dutchman worked hard, but he simply isn’t adding anything to the equation, whether in the attacking or defending phase. Manuel Locatelli – 5.5 ............ Weston McKennie – 5.5 ............ Jonathan David – 4 The Canadian gifted Lazio the opener with a needless back-pass. He also squandered the team’s best chance in the first half, as he couldn’t beat Ivan Provedel from close range, and was often wasteful in possession. Dusan Vlahovic – 4.5 The Serbian was given 90+ minutes to inflict the damage upfront, but his clinical touch abandoned him every time the ball came his way. Substitutes Kenan Yildiz – 5.5 The Turkish star added some flair to the final third following his entry, but he’s obviously far from his best, as he was often dispossessed. Khephren Thuram – 6 The midfield improved with the France international on the pitch, but couldn’t beat Provedel with his header. Filip Kostic – 6 ............ Loic Openda – 6 ............ Joao Mario – N/A . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/juventus-player-ratings-vs-lazio-david-woeful-at-both-ends/

Player Ratings: Lazio 1-0 Juventus – Isaksen shines as David woes continue Lazio beat Juventus 1-0 at the Stadio Olimpico this evening and Gustav Isaksen is Man of the Match. ............ Lazio: Provedel 6; Lazzari 6 (Pellegrini 6), Gila 6, Romagnoli 6.5, Marusic 5.5; Guendouzi 6, Cataldi 6.5, Basic 7 (Vecino 5.5); Isaksen 7.5 (Pedro N/A), Dia 5.5, Zaccagni 6 Best Lazio player: Isaksen. ............ Lowest Lazio Rating: Dia ............ Coach: Sarri 7 – Set up well against a strong Juventus and did just enough to secure the three points. ............ Juventus: Perin 6; Kalulu 6, Gatti 5.5 (Joao Mario N/A), Lloyd Kelly 5.5,;Cambiaso 6 (Yildiz 6); Conceicao 6.5, Koopmeiners 6 (Thuram 6), Locatelli 6.5, McKennie 5.5 (Openda N/A); Vlahovic 5.5, David 5. Best Juventus player: Conceicao – Despite not being able to get his team a point, the Portuguese winger was effective in his duties this evening. Potentially should have been awarded a penalty after a foul from Mario Gila in the box and was fairly lucid in an otherwise tame performance from the Bianconeri. Lowest Juventus rating: David – Involved in a goal tonight, but not in the way he would’ve liked. At fault for Lazio’s opener, the Canadian struggled to redeem himself and was eventually hooked just after the hour mark. Life has not started well for the former Lille man in Turin. Coach: Tudor 5 – Showing the signs of a coach under immense pressure, Tudor took risks today and they failed to pay off. His front two of Vlahovic and David continue to struggle to develop any sort of chemistry together and his decision to bring on Kenan Yildiz at half-time was a little too late. .

Stessa situazione del Lille con Zhegrova.

Serie A | Lazio 1-0 Juventus: Basic adds to Old Lady problems Juventus fell to a third consecutive defeat in all competition, as Toma Basic made the most of Jonathan David’s error for a Lazio victory, but both sides were furious with controversial refereeing. The Bianconeri were without a win in seven competitive games, fresh from back-to-back defeats to Como and Real Madrid. ............ Isaksen squirmed between three to pull back at the by-line, forcing Federico Gatti into a panicked clearance from five yards, and the deadlock was broken soon after. David got his back-pass header completely wrong, giving it straight to Danilo Cataldi, and Toma Basic saw his strike from outside the area deflected off Gatti to totally wrong-foot Perin. ............ Kenan Yildiz replaced Cambiaso for the restart in a very attacking Juve formation, but Vlahovic’s blushes were spared by the offside flag for Kelly after firing onto the crossbar from 12 yards on his assist. ............ There was even more controversy on the hour mark when Mario Gila appeared to tread on Conceicao’s foot, but the referee waved play on and VAR did not intervene for a penalty either. ............ .

Referee controversy continues in Lazio vs Juventus after drama in Napoli win over Inter After refereeing controversy in Napoli’s 3-1 win over Inter, tonight’s game between Lazio and Juventus has also had several key incidents that continue to shine negative light on officiating in Serie A. ............ The incident involved a potential penalty for Juventus, after Mario Gila was judged to have stood on the foot of Bianconeri winger Francisco Conceicao. The Juventus man went down and Gila immediately looked sheepish, anticipating a spot-kick for the visitors. ............ However, after VAR review, the referee’s on-field decision stood and no penalty was given. ............ . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/referee-controversy-continues-lazio-juventus/

Modesto: ‘Juventus have faith’ in Tudor, Openda and David Juventus technical director Francois Modesto insists they ‘have a lot of faith’ in coach Igor Tudor, and are confident Lois Openda and Jonathan David will flourish eventually. ............ “Igor is our coach, we are very happy with him, have a lot of faith in his work, and want to focus on getting the win this evening,” Modesto said. ............ “It is a very difficult league in Italy, there are some very well-organised coaches and teams, which makes it tough for those who come here from other divisions. If we look to the past, we’ll see many great champions who struggled at the beginning in Serie A,” warned Modesto. “The positive thing is that David and Openda have settled well into the group, and of course they have always scored lots of goals in their careers, so we think it’s just a matter of time. We hope that they will start scoring from tonight.” ............ “There are absolutely no issues. Dusan is a great professional, a leader of this team, he is helping David and Openda off the field too, and we are very happy,” added Modesto. “We have leaders in this squad, like Bremer who unfortunately is injured, Gatti and Kenan Yildiz, so we have no lack of leaders.” ............ “Koopmeiners works hard, he had difficulties like many who first come to Juve, but he is improving, the coach has put him in a few different positions, and we hope he can show what he has always done with Atalanta and in some games at Juventus,” concluded the director. .

Balzarini: Juventus wouldn’t wait until international break to sack Tudor Italian journalist Gianni Balzarini provides the latest updates on the future of Igor Tudor at Juventus. The Croatian is a former Bianconeri defender who was initially appointed as interim coach in March to replace Thiago Motta, before being confirmed on a permanent basis last summer, when the club failed to prise Antonio Conte away from Napoli. ............ According to Balzarini, the contest against the Biancocelesti won’t be decisive for Tudor, who can rest assured for now. “At this time, there is no intention of dismissing coach Tudor,” said the journalist. ............ “The idea that we should wait for a break is BS as far as big clubs are concerned. “During the international break, 13 or 14 Juventus players are usually away. A new coach doesn’t get the chance to train with the squad until the final two or three days.” ............ .
