During the first days of the campaign, Juventus alternated wins and draws. While fans weren’t too pleased with the result or the showings, observers were quick to point out that it’s still significantly better than the start of last season.
Well not yet.
Last season, the Bianconeri had only picked up two points from the first four matchdays. However, they then managed to win the next four. On the contrary, things are rapidly degenerating with each passing week this season.
La Gazzetta dello Sport compares Juve’s numbers from last season with those recorded this time.
After seven days of Serie A, Max Allegri’s men had added 11 points last season. This campaign, the number dropped to 10.
On a more worrying note, the Bianconeri walked away with all six points from their opening two Champions League meetings last season, while the team have so far failed to collect a single point in Europe so far.
The source also reflects on how Juventus raised their level once the Champions League started last season, while the continental tournament had the opposite effect this time.
Our current domestic numbers represent the worst start to the season since the famous 2015/16 campaign when the team had only collected 8 points at this stage of the campaign.
Famously, Max Allegri’s men turned the tables by winning 25 games out of 26 to secure their fifth successive Scudetto triumph.
Unfortunately, such a scenario is highly unlikely with the current group.
