Juventus Report Card: Vlahovic Lost In The Dark, Locatelli In Charge, And Motta's Recurring Role
Juventus' disappointing 1-0 defeat to Monza on Sunday has left a lot to be desired. The Bianconeri were outplayed by their newly-promoted opponents and were lucky to escape with just a one-goal deficit. Several players underperformed on the day, but some also stood out.
Vlahovic Lost In The Dark
Dusan Vlahovic was one of the most disappointing players on the pitch. The Serbian striker was isolated up front and was unable to get into the game. He had just one shot on target all game and was replaced by Moise Kean in the second half.
Vlahovic's performance was a concern, as he has now failed to score in his last three games. The striker has been in poor form since the start of the season and has yet to find his feet in Turin. He needs to start scoring goals soon if Juventus wants to challenge for the Scudetto.
Locatelli In Charge
Manuel Locatelli was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise disappointing performance. The Italian midfielder was everywhere on the pitch, breaking up Monza's attacks and creating chances for his teammates. He was also unlucky not to score, hitting the post in the first half.
Locatelli has been in excellent form for Juventus this season and has quickly become one of the team's most important players. He is a complete midfielder who can do it all. He is good at defending, passing, and shooting.
Motta's Recurring Role
Arkadiusz Milik was another player who impressed against Monza. The Polish striker came on as a substitute in the second half and made an immediate impact. He scored the winning goal and was a constant threat to the Monza defense.
Milik has been in good form for Juventus since joining the club in the summer. He has scored four goals in seven appearances and has shown that he can be a valuable asset to the team.
Conclusion
Juventus' defeat to Monza was a disappointing result, but there were some positives to take from the game. Locatelli and Milik were both excellent, and they will be key players for Juventus in the months to come. Vlahovic needs to start scoring goals soon, but he has the quality to do so.
Juventus will be hoping to bounce back when they face Bologna in their next game. The Bianconeri will be confident of getting a win against the Serie A strugglers, but they will need to be wary of Bologna's attacking threat.
