The long-feared diagnosis for many Bianconeri supporters has been confirmed: Igor Tudor`s Juventus is suffering from a troubling case of `draw-itis,` a recurring issue that also plagued last year`s squad under Thiago Motta. While the Old Lady managed a clean sheet against AC Milan, the goalless draw at the Stadium is far from a positive step forward. This sentiment was clearly echoed by the frustrated whistles from the home crowd at the final whistle from referee Guida.
Individual Performances Offer Little Comfort
A closer look at individual player performances offers little to celebrate. The consistently impressive Conceicao stood out as one of the few to elevate his game above a generally mediocre team display. Kalulu, surprisingly, also showed significant impact, proving to be the most effective former player on the pitch among the many who participated.
Tudor Remains Optimistic Amidst Discontent
During the post-match press conference, Tudor attempted to maintain a positive outlook, stating:
`I am not worried; in fact, I am satisfied. This is a positive, unified locker room, committed to working hard and constantly improving. In the approximately twenty matches I`ve overseen since I arrived, we`ve made very few significant errors. While none have been easy, our mistakes have been minimal. This is the essence of Juventus; this team must earn everything through sheer effort and dedication.`
