Since the start of the season, Juventus have been enduring an injury crisis that has hampered the club’s ability to deliver results.
While fans have expressed their displeasure with Max Allegri’s methods, the coach has to deal with a frazzled team.
For example, eleven players will miss tonight’s Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain with various injuries, including key players such as Federico Chiesa, Paul Pogba, Angel Di Maria and Gleison Bremer.
So supporters are rightly looking for an explanation and perhaps a culprit for the puzzling situation.
According to the Gazzetta dello Sport via JuventusNews24, the fingers point towards the head athletics coach Simone Folletti.
Although the club recently appointed Giovanni Andreini to oversee the club’s sporting regimen, Folletti remains the one who sets the training methods.
In addition, some blame the club’s management, although to a lesser extent, for organizing the pre-season tour in the United States.
As we all remember, Paul Pogba injured his meniscus during the tour, while his teammates returned exhausted after a busy schedule filled with long-distance travel, friendlies and an overload of media acrobatics.
Juve FC says
Whether or not Folletti is really the main culprit for the current miserable situation at Juventus, it is impossible to say from our side.
However, something has to give, and perhaps the changes in personnel can reap some benefits. After all, the state can hardly worsen at this time.
