For a club like Juventus, two years without a title is a long period. And looking at their current state of affairs, third year without a trophy is all but certain. The ‘Old Lady’ is in a difficult period again and the displays are way below expected. But considering the amount of money needed to sack coach Massimiliano Allegri, it seems that the Italian tactician is safe (for now). But, former Juventus legend and now vice-president Pavel Nedved has announced a serious assessment of the club’s season in the upcoming period.CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: PSG finished second after Benfica’s six goals cannonade in PortugalThe Italian giant finished it’s competition in the Champions League in the first round already and will be forced to play in Europa League. Juventus are not used to this (just like Barcelona) and you have to go back eight years in order to find their last participation in the Europe’s second-tier competition. The likes of Gianluigi Buffon, Andrea Pirlo, Carlos Tevez and Paul Pogba played under Antonio Conte when they reached semi-finals and lost to Benfica.So, that European Super League is actually less super and more Europa LeagueAnd now they have to play in Europa League again, but looking at their recent displays, it doesn’t seem that they are favorites in this competition either.“We have to ask ourselves some serious questions. Luckily the championship will stop on November 13 and we have to make serious assessments. We will evaluate everything, in the Champions League we lost four out of five. In the championship we are late. We will evaluate since the championship stops and we will start again differently. I’m not talking about the coach, the club, the players, something was wrong” said Nedved to Mediset.Juve directors under investigation, Ronaldo refuses to meet the prosecutorOne of the reasons is surely absence of many first team players. As much as 11 players are lightly or seriously injured, and not even bigger clubs would be immune to this. Paul Pogba, Dušan Vlahović, Federico Chiesa, Angel Di Maria, Leandro Paredes, Gleison Bremer and Mattia De Sciglio are all first team players and are unavailable to coach Allegri.“We have been fighting since the beginning of the year in terms of injuries, we have twelve or thirteen injuries overall but this is difficult. When everyone returns, I hope that one day everyone will be there. We will have the squad they wanted, there is the right mix between young players and veterans” said Nedved.##NAJAVA_MECA_6778907##
