Original title: Plunge in form! Juve's chase for points comes to an abrupt end, Crowe's 9-shot streak is muted.
0-1, Juve lost to Napoli away in the 22nd round of Serie A. At the same time, Crowe suffered a two-game drought with nine shots and zero goals in this game. Zebra army fell into a small trough, and in the middle of next week, Juve still have to play the Champions League 1/8 knockout match, so the state of the fans are also very worried about the prospects of Juve.
Juve changed their manager at the end of last season and Pirlo, who had no coaching experience, became the new manager of Juve. After Pirlo took office, he made adjustments to the team's lineup, with three defenders, four defenders, and 3.5 defenders being Pirlo's choices. In the first half of the season, Juve's results were not too stable because of the different tactics, the team often conceded goals, which also made Juve fall behind in the half of the game.
Entering into 2021, Juve's form is relatively stable, beating Napoli in the Italian Super Cup to win the title, and then eliminating Inter in the Coppa Italia to reach the final. In the Serie A, Juve have also been chasing points, and have also won three consecutive Serie A victories after beating Roma in the last round.
This round's matchup with Napoli is very crucial for Juve, as it is a must-win game for Juve to secure the third place, and 3 points from this game is also very important for the Zebras in the chasing stage. In addition, Napoli has been in poor form for a while now, and team manager Gattuso is on the verge of being dismissed, which is a big plus for Juve to win the game. Not only that, Juve just beat Napoli in the Italian Super Cup last month, so they have a psychological advantage.
But in the end, Juve did not win in this game, wildly shot 24 feet of Juventus was defeated by Napoli, 0-1 loss to the opponent, this loss also makes Juve Serie A three consecutive wins drew to a close. It's worth mentioning that Juventus' longest winning streak in Serie A this season is three games, and they've never won four consecutive games. In addition, Juve's loss also makes the team's three consecutive rounds of shutout results in the past.
C Luo in this game debut, but the president of the play is not in the best state, he had 9 shots on goal, did not score a goal, and hit within the range of the goal frame only 4 times, the shot rate is less than 50%. This is also Crow's second consecutive game drought, in the midweek with Inter in the semi-final of the Italian Cup, Crow also did not score.
Juve's three consecutive victories in the Serie A have ended, while three shutouts have gone out the window, and the team's main player Crowe has fallen into a two-game drought, so Juve's competitive state is currently at a low ebb. However, in the first round of the Champions League 1/8 knockout stage next midweek, Juve will welcome the challenge of Porto, and it is an away game. With such a state of mind, the final result of the challenge against Porto is worrying.
In addition, Juve's injury situation is not optimistic, Dybala is still no sign of comeback, and Bonucci muscle fatigue, while Artur is also injured, the three even in the game against Porto, the state is difficult to be in the best.
