Okay,
Lazio vs Juventus Match Overview
00:00:15
Speaker
so let's begin with Lazio 1, Juve 1.
Di Bala's Role at Juventus
00:00:19
Speaker
So from a Juventus perspective, what do you make of this situation with Di Bala Carlo?

Because it doesn't seem to be improving.
Tactical Concerns with Di Bala
00:00:26
Speaker
You have Morata, Ronaldo, and Kuluszewski, all of whom are not only doing better, but seem to fit Pierlo's ideas better than Di Bala. So what are you making of this situation? Because again, I do think it is concerning.
00:00:26
Speaker
following is a clip from this week's Italian football podcast.
00:00:38
Speaker
it is becoming a problem.
Integrating Di Bala with Ronaldo and Morata
00:00:40
Speaker
I think there's three, maybe four issues here. First issue is a tactical issue. I think Pirlo is just unsure where to play Di Barlow in this team.
Pirlo's Tactical Challenges
00:00:49
Speaker
I think he feels that he can't play him in the same team as Ronaldo and Moretta because it's two attacking. And the occasions this season where Pirlo has gone ultra attacking, it has
00:00:59
Speaker
backfired. We saw that in the Barcelona game where Ronaldo was out, but Di Barla played with Murata, Koulousevski, Kiesa, and Juve were far too open and they lost the game.
Scoring Dynamics: Ronaldo and Morata
00:01:09
Speaker
Right now, Murata and Ronaldo both scored six goals this season. You can't drop either of them, can you? There's an issue there.
Di Bala's Tactical Limitations
00:01:16
Speaker
So Dibala could play in say the number 10 role behind the front two, but as I said, that's probably too attacking. And also it's a tactical issue because Dibala can't drop back into the midfield in the defensive phases. And I think that generally Dibala's kind of inability to press or to run or to defend, I think it can be an issue. And we've

seen that in the past in his Juventus career.
00:01:38
Speaker
Some past Juventus managers, certainly allegory towards the end of his time at Juventus, didn't really know how to fit Di Bala in with other players in the team. Probably the biggest achievement of Mirizio Sarri's time at Juventus was actually getting the best out of Di Bala, but he didn't get the best out of the team, especially in Europe.
