In the second round of Serie A, Juventus played at home against the newly promoted team Empoli, which was also the first official game after Ronaldo left. The Juventus forward line collectively misfired and did not score a goal. In the end, Juventus lost 0-1 at home, which was the first time Juventus lost to Empoli in Serie A in 22 years.
In the last round of Serie A, Juventus scored two goals first and was tied by Udinese. Cristiano Ronaldo came off the bench in the second half and scored a goal in stoppage time. However, the goal was judged because of body hair offside. invalid. Juventus, who failed to win a good start to the season, played against the promoted Marnepoli in the second round of Serie A.
Although Cristiano Ronaldo has left Juventus, in view of Juventus’s home game and the weaker opponents, the media are mostly optimistic about Juventus’ easy victory. Not only that, from the historical record, Juventus also has an absolute advantage. In Serie A, Juventus has won eight consecutive victories against Empoli, and the last time Juventus lost to Empoli in Serie A was in the 27th round of Serie A in the 1998-1999 season.
What is surprising is that Juventus completely collapsed after Cristiano Ronaldo left, especially the team’s forwards are even more sluggish. Dybala started the game and played 90 minutes of the game, but only three shots in the game, and more often, Dybala is like a walker, there is no offensive passion at all. Although Chiesa is passionate and has a strong wing impact, more often, Chiesa returns to the backcourt to participate in the defense and does not better play his offensive potential.
Morata came off the bench in the second half of the game, playing the second half, but did not shoot. Kulusevsky also came off the bench. Although he had two successful passes, he did not make a key pass and did not make a shot. In general, although Juventus had 18 shots, there was no absolute chance of scoring. Juventus players’ shooting accuracy was insufficient. Without a striker like Ronaldo who can kill in one shot, Juventus’s forward weakness is too obvious.
With a 0-1 loss to Empoli, Juventus’ undefeated golden figure against Empoli in 22 years was finally broken. It should also be pointed out that this is also the 10th game that Juventus has lost at home in Serie A since the opening of the Allianz Arena.
