JAKARTA - Claudio Marchisio commented on the appearance of his former club Juventus. The former midfielder said that currently the Old Lady is in a state of concern.

Juventus performance at the start of the 2022/2023 season was less flashy. Of the nine matches he has played, the Bianconeri have only won two wins, and three defeats and four draws.

Most recently, Massimiliano Allegri's side fell 0-1 from Monza last weekend. The result came as a shock as Monza was a promotional club.

Marchisio's concern was not only due to Juventus' final score in the match against Monza, but also spread to other aspects. According to him, it is the way the Bianconeri play is worrying.

The problem is, not because Juve lost, because that could have happened. But against Monza without a shot at the opponent's goal," Marchisio said complaining of the team's lack of creativity, quoted from Football Italia, Wednesday.

Furthermore, Marchisio also highlighted the team's hazard signal that arose because of the lack of synchronization of relationships within the team, between players and coaches, as well as with the club.

This was revealed by Marchisio when he learned that the new Bianconeri star, Angel Di Maria, had a red card at the Brianteo Stadium which was considered one of the causes of Leonardo Bonucci et al's defeat.

In fact, according to Marchisio, if Juventus had a strong and combined squad, playing with ten troops would not be entirely a mistake and the reason for falling.

"With a strong squad, you can still speak up even when playing with 10 people. The Juventus team doesn't know how to play, and that's worrying," added the 36-year-old footballer.

Dusan Vlahovic's performance was also highlighted by the legend. Marchisio said the Serbian man had not experienced any progress since moving from Fiorentina. The statement clearly cornered the position of coach, Massimiliano Allegri.

However, Marchisio also understands that it is difficult for Juventus to make a decision to fire Allegri. Moreover, there is a World Cup in sight that will make everything in the team taken into account, as well as related to financial factors.

"This season is basically divided into two parts, so I hope they wait for the break (after the World Cup) to make a change for the coach. This is a complicated situation," said Marchisio.
