Italian journalist Massimo Giletti has launched a scathing attack on current Juventus players as they struggle to get fit.
Previously, the Bianconeri had been one of the most difficult clubs to face and opponents were afraid to play against them.
However, they have been soft this season, with Monza and Maccabi Haifa beating them.
Giletti is of the opinion that the Juve of yesteryear had battle-hardened players who would stop at nothing to ensure the team wins.
However, the current group is distracted by social networks and other unimportant things.
He said via Tuttojuve:
“Perhaps the blackest page in recent years. The Buffons, the Barzaglis, the Chiellini are missing. Today’s Juve is made up of spoiled lads who think more about appearance, social media, their business. Real men solve problems by talking to each other, but these… The collapse of Juve hasn’t started for two months, it’s less recent, it worries society.
“We have been going through a descent into hell for years. Errors arising from distant and recent myopia.”
Juve FC says
Our current players are quality footballers, but they seem to have a hard time representing the shirt.
This season’s Juve doesn’t scare any rival, that’s why we’ve lost points against some teams that we don’t like.
However, the players will improve and blaming them could be one-sided, considering that they act according to the instructions of the coach on the field.
