"We have entirely changed the way we think about football," a buoyant Cristiano Giuntoli told Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera at the start of the season. He expressed a commitment to revitalizing Juventus with fresh talent and style.
"Just shy of 200m euros was splashed on the market to bring in the likes of Atalanta's Teun Koopmeiners and Aston Villa's Douglas Luiz. The midfield was injected with fresh new talent and youngsters were promoted and immediately thrown on to the pitch to dazzling effect."
Fifteen matches in and Juventus find themselves in sixth place in Serie A, still unbeaten in the league but incapable of a win. Their attacking game risks being advertised as a cure for insomnia.
The team were attacking in nature, aggressive as they won possession high up the pitch and positional fluidity was the name of the game. But instead of a sustainable success, they seem to deliver much of the same.
