Juventus has not scored in 4 of the last 6 games + the striker has had a 49-day scoring drought in sports games, or may change to a double center forward

Hupu November 09 News "Gazzetta dello Sport" reporter Fabio Russo analyzed the current situation of Juventus. Although the head coach has been changed, the Bianconeri's offensive problems still seem to have not been solved, especially since all forwards have not scored a goal in sports matches for 49 days.

After the 0-0 draw with Turin in the 11th round of the Derby, Spalletti has begun to face the same problems as several previous coaches. From the end of the Allegri era, to Thiago Motta, and then to Tudor, Juventus players are still struggling to score goals, so that 4 of the last 6 Serie A games have not scored, and the result is naturally 2 draws and 2 losses.

Excluding the penalty kicks of Vlahovic and Yildiz against Udinese, the last sports game goal scored by all Juventus forwards in Serie A can be traced back to the away game against Verona on September 20, when Conceição scored from a long shot outside the penalty area. Since then, Juventus' striker has not scored a goal through sports battles for 49 days, which has undoubtedly become a huge stone in the team's championship prospects.

In today's Serie A, the inability of forwards to score continuously is already a problem across the league (the top scorers are Calhanoglu and Orsolini), and Juventus' performance is no exception. Only 57% of Juve's goals this season have come from forwards, which is only slightly lower than Milan (60%) but higher than Roma (53%), Inter Milan (52%) and Napoli (25%).

However, "everyone is the same" does not bring any comfort. Juventus' offensive problems are still outstanding: the team scored a total of 14 goals in the league, only 7 of which were scored by attackers (Vlahovic 3 goals, Yildiz 2 goals, Conceicao 1 goal, David 1 goal), and of these 7 goals, only the first two came from organized offense, the rest were either set pieces (3 goals) or personal performance (2 goals). In yesterday's Turin derby, Juventus' best scoring opportunity was also obtained by a midfielder.

In the game against Turin, from a data perspective, Spalletti's Juventus was not completely ineffective on the offensive end. At least it was somewhat improved compared to the "completely misfired" games against Milan, Como, Real Madrid and Lazio in the later period of Tudor's coaching (all 0 goals).

Although it has not reached the level of "red alert" where Tudor failed to score for nearly 400 minutes and was eventually fired, the team's last three games against Cremona, Sporting CP and Torino took 15, 18 and 21 shots but only scored 3 goals, which is still enough to illustrate the problem.

In yesterday's Turin Derby, Yildiz had the most shots (4 times, 2 of which were on target), Vlahovic had 3 attempts, and Conceicao had 2 attempts, but the best chance of the game actually fell at the feet of midfielder McKennie (resolved by the opponent's goalkeeper heroically). Although David got a good chance on the left side and seemed to be in improved condition, he still failed to score since the first round; Gerglova, who came off the bench, brought some vitality (it was his cross to McKennie that created the opportunity); and Oppenda did not have much playing time, and he has not scored in nearly 7 months and more than 1,000 minutes.

In short, Juventus needs a comprehensive change. Spalletti said after the game: "We can also try a two-forward formation."

The change to a two-forward formation can allow Vlahovic to partner with one of David or Oppenda, increasing the threat in the penalty area and allowing the frontcourt attack to be more layered. However, whether the two wingers Conceicao and Yildiz can be retained on the basis of the two forwards has become a problem.
