Beaten in the league, has drawn already 10 times in the season

In Lecce, Juventus did not è go beyond 1-1. Counting in hand, this is the eighth draw in the league (out of 14 matches played). If we add to this the two draws, out of five matches, in the Champions League, we reach 10 total draws since the beginning of the season.

There'è of the other, in the calendar year, Juventus è reached 18 matches ended in draws; looking only at the league (10 Allegri and eight Thiago Motta). A real record (surpassed the 17 ties of the year 1956). Unequivocal statistical data: Juventus suffers from pareggitis and, in the three-point era, it is definitely not something to be proud of.

Alibis of injuries aside, the attack is struggling enormously to score goals. In Serie A, 22 goals have been scored to date (14 fewer than Atalanta, the league&#39s best attack with one less game). Fortunately, the defense is holding up. To date, only Juventus, Bayer Munich and PSG have not lost a single game in their respective leagues.

Thiago Motta keeps reiterating that he is thinking positive and looking forward to the next match with optimism. However, something must be changed. If one wants to aim for prestigious results, matches must be won, not drawn. The hope of the Bianconeri fans è that with the return of a few injured players, the music may change.
