Rift growing at Juventus as Tudor’s test in Madrid means little compared to off-the-field problems

Tonight’s match in Madrid will not deliver any definitive verdicts for Juventus.

It would be illogical to think that a single game could decisively determine anything.

However, what stands out most are the barbs Tudor has aimed at the club, particularly directed at Comolli. It is unacceptable for the Juventus coach to start arguing with the Como coach, complaining that “he got the players he asked for, I didn’t.”

Whoever sits on the Juventus bench cannot afford to head down such a risky path on their own, one that serves only to create unnecessary problems for themselves, as if they had shot themselves in the foot.

Tudor unrest grows as rift grows between coach and management at Juventus

It is clear that Tudor is not satisfied with the summer transfer window, and he doesn’t even need to say it openly: just look at how little he has been using the new signings.

That alone would have been more than enough of a signal, without needing to fuel a dangerous controversy. And yet, Tudor of all people should know very well, perhaps better than anyone, what Juventus represents.

Or rather: what it represented, and what it is now struggling to become again.
