Tudor like Allegri, won against Monza with 17% ball control
2025-04-30 22:01:56 / SPORT
From promises of a new football to the return of a familiar but often contested style, Juventus are going through a turbulent period of transition, where new ideas have failed to find lasting ground and the recent choices seem to have returned the team to a kind of "Allegri 2.0", with a minimalist football, based on defense, verticality and score management.
Under the direction of Igor Tudor, the Bianconeri are experiencing an unexpected turn. The Croatian coach, who came to close the season with dignity after the departure of Tiago Mota, has never hidden his playing philosophy. Few words, a lot of verticality and no interest in possession of the ball. And in the match against Monza, this philosophy was shown in the most extreme way, only 17% possession for Juventus, a figure that would shock any modern coach.
Although the early lead and Yildiz's dismissal at the end of the first half justify this approach to some extent, it cannot be denied that this is the direction that Tudor has immediately given the team, simple, direct football, without tactical luxuries. Compared to the previous attempt at a revolution under Tiago Mota, a coach who aimed to "invent" a more structured Juventus, with more possession and building from the back, it seems that the club has returned to "down to earth".
What was offered as a revolution without substance, a sterile possession that rarely led to concrete cases. The Mota project failed to free itself from Allegri's legacy, while Tudor is embracing precisely that approach, if only for emergency reasons. And so, Juventus is caught in a dimension, between nostalgia for the pragmatism of the past and the inability to build something new. In this lukewarm reality, fans and analysts begin to ask themselves: "Is this a return to Allegri with a new name on the bench?".
In all these identity swings, one thing remains clear. The season can only be called saved if Juventus manages to secure a place in the Champions League. And, with two crucial challenges approaching, against Bologna and Lazio, everything else takes a back seat. Style no longer matters. The result is everything.
