Chievo Verona 2-3 Juventus: 5 Talking points

#3 Defensive stability needs to be rediscovered

Cancelo

was great going forward but looked shaky at the back

Defensive instability and Juventus? Sound like they are two corners of the universe, right?

Juventus have maintained the reputation of being a really solid defensive unit for years now. It arguably began under Antonio Conte and the likes of Giorgio Chiellini and Andrea Barzagli have carried it forward.

But against Chievo, Juve looked far from their best and appeared shaky at the back. The marking for the first goal was scandalous and Cancelo conceded a cheap penalty which gave Chievo the lead.

Both Cancelo and Bonucci (kind of) are new to the setup so integrating them will be key. The Old Lady's huge success in the Serie A has been based on a tight defence and Allegri will surely prioritise the same.
