Juventus plunges into crisis after the home defeat against Como, which followed the heavy Champions League humiliation against Galatasaray. The Bianconeri lost 2-0 to Cesc Fabregas’s side: now not only is the road to fourth place going uphill, but also the very qualification for the European cups is at risk.

Juventus fans after the game targeted Luciano Spalletti and several players, but at the center of the storm is Michele Di Gregorio, whom fans no longer want to see start in goal from the first minute. The Piedmontese have taken 14 goals in their last five games, but the most alarming figure is the goals conceded on the first shot on goal in the match: as many as 13 instances, a negative record for the entire Serie A.

There was great anticipation for Juventus-Como, the match that was supposed to represent the redemption of Luciano Spalletti’s team after the Istanbul drubbing with Galatasaray in the Champions League.
There was also a certain curiosity about the jersey worn by Cambiaso and his teammates: traditionally black and white but with horizontal instead of vertical stripes.
It can certainly not be said that the'unusual jersey has brought good to the Old Lady: in fact, the Larians went to the Allianz Stadium for 2-0 by scoring one goal per time.
For Juventus today’s was the fifth consecutive game without a win considering all competitions.
In addition, between Serie A and Champions League, came the third consecutive knockout, after those against Inter and Galatasaray.

The first goal was scored by Vojvoda, who concluded an'action initiated by an error by the Bianconeri.
By Caqueret, however, the second goal, in the second half, came at the end of a quick restart.
For Juventus it was a real nightmare day in front of their fans.

Luciano Spalletti’s team, after the success against Napoli last January 25, has not won again at the Stadium.
The'last victory is the external one against Parma: 4-1 last February 1. Then the gloom.
Against Como, the'most dangerous action came only in the final, when Teun Koopmeiners hit the post.
Defeat could have very heavy implications in the race for qualification to the next edition of the Champions League.

And Luciano Spalletti also remarked this after the game: “Then everything becomes more difficult, because as it happened to us for 13 times at the first shot on goal you take goal. If you take goal 13 times on the first shot on goal, it is clear that then there are difficulties”.

“Di Gregorio is perfectly in line with his teammates, Di Gregorio has no more responsibility than any of his teammates. He makes a mistake like you make in a pass played behind superficially. And you take goal, then he probably could have done better too, so we could have done better not to lose it”.

On social media, fans are pushing for an immediate change: Mattia Perin in place of Di Gregorio for the next matches. “Of course Spalletti must think very little of Perin if he prefers him this vile thing dressed in red”, With all due respect, let #Perin play for at least 4/5 games until he regains motivation…. #DiGregorio in total doll”, Worst goalkeeper in Juventus history, unbelievable. Why doesn’t Perin play? Why? Why? ”, “Di Gregorio is unpresentable really how can Perin” not play.
