“Doesn’t always work,” Journalist reacts to Juventus draw against Atalanta | OneFootball

Juventus spent the final ten minutes of normal time, plus added time, camped in front of Atalanta’s goal, yet were unable to secure the winning strike. Despite intense late pressure, La Dea held firm with ten men to leave Turin with a valuable point.

As has often been the case in matches where Juventus are not in the lead, Igor Tudor turned to an attacking approach in the closing stages. Multiple forwards were introduced in an effort to break down the visitors’ defence, but Atalanta’s resilience proved decisive. Supporters inside the Allianz Stadium remained hopeful that a breakthrough would come, urging their team forward until the very end.

Juventus’ Late Surge Falls Short

The Bianconeri’s best spell of the evening arguably arrived too late. Their relentless forward play in the closing stages pinned Atalanta deep into their own half, yet clear opportunities remained scarce. As the clock ran down, it became evident that the visitors had survived one of their toughest examinations of the season.

It was a frustrating outcome for Juventus, who had displayed spirit but were unable to convert that into a winning performance. The final whistle confirmed a result that highlighted both promise and limitations in their current approach.

Lessons from the Draw

Reflecting on the match, Giovanni Capuano, as quoted by Tuttojuve, remarked: “A draw that confirms the strengths and weaknesses of Tudor’s Juventus. ‘Till the end’ doesn’t always work.” His comments underline the recurring issue of the team leaving their strongest moments too late in games.

The challenge ahead for Juventus is to learn how to impose themselves from the outset rather than relying on late comebacks. Starting matches with greater intensity and control could prevent the need for desperate late surges.

With many fixtures still to come this season, there remains time to build consistency and gather momentum. Putting together a series of wins over the coming weeks will be crucial if Juventus are to maintain its ambitions in the league.
