Former Ghana midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah has expressed his disappointment following Juventus poor start to the 2022/23 season.
Juve were eliminated at the group stage of the UEFA Champions League for the first time since 2013-14, after picking up just three points from five games, their worst ever tally at this stage of the tournament.
In the league, the former Serie A champions are 7th on the league table with 22 points, 10 points above leaders Napoli after 12 matches played so far.
“I haven’t seen all the Juventus matches, but in the ones I followed the feeling is that the hunger, the determination and the Juve spirit that I learned from Conte are not always maximum,” Asamoah told The Gazzetta dello Sport.
“There is a lack of continuity, which is one of the qualities fundamental for wearing the black and white jersey when you play for Juventus, there are no “normal” games: they are all decisive and especially those to be won at any cost against low-middle-ranking teams.”
He added, “In my time Conte and the various Buffons, Chiellini, Barzagli, Marchisio and Bonucci were decisive in transmitting certain values to me, to young people and to the new ones.”
“Now Bonucci has remained. Leonardo does his, but now he is a bit alone … I’m sorry, and it’s a shame, not to see the Juventus of the past that we were all used to anymore.”
