AI summary
Juventus's defeat to Sassuolo has prompted soul-searching at the club, with DAZN's post-match panel highlighting a marked drop in control and conviction compared to the season's start. The midfield looked particularly exposed without Locatelli, whose absence left gaps between the lines and robbed the side of the equilibrium needed to dictate play. Behrami flagged a worrying lack of leadership in the closing minutes, while Matri pointed to a defensive solidity that had been a hallmark of early-season form.
Vicario drew rare praise for his post-match comments, with Behrami noting he was among few at the club who grasped what losing in such fashion truly meant. The panel also questioned whether the Kolo Muani–Woltemade partnership offers a solution, with Behrami stressing the need for 15–20 goals from attackers to mount a Champions League challenge.
