cheap haaland jersey When he’s not there, Juve are painfully vulnerable in defence, as Bonucci just cannot be trusted without a stabilising influence alongside him. He hasn’t been the same player since leaving for Milan in a pique of misplaced rage in 2017 and, these days, is little more than a liability, as likely to play himself into trouble on the pitch as he is talk himself into trouble off it.
If Juve can find willing buyers, they should take what they can get for Bonucci and Rugani, and put that money towards the acquisition of at least one young, dominant centre-half ¨C but, ideally, two.
There have also been some calls for Juve to invest in one of the new breed of ball-playing goalkeepers but Wojciech Szczesny has proven a reliable presence in goal and rescued his side several times before De Ligt’s decisive header midway through the second half on Tuesday, while Mattia Perin is a very capable understudy.
Juve have two fine attacking full-backs in Alex Sandro and Joao Cancelo but there are issues here too. Firstly, the former is one of the Old Lady’s most valuable assets and may need to be sold to raise funds to strengthen elsewhere, while the latter is rather bizarrely distrusted by Allegri in big games.
Granted, the Portuguese takes risks going forward – which are sometimes exploited – but one could argue that Juve are lacking that spirit of adventure in their play.
Still, on the plus side, Leonardo Spinazzola has shown when fully fit that he can make a positive contribution to this squad, whileMattia De Sciglio’s versatility makes him worthy of cheap football shirts sale retention. However, Martin Caceres second spell in Turin should end this summer.
