The Old Lady Speaks: A Juventus Podcast

The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 126: Positives, negatives from Juve’s first half

Listen Later

We’re done with the first week of the World Cup break, so we decided to talk about some Juventus things nonetheless — namely what has taken part over the course of the first half of the 2022-23 season.

On this week’s episode of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:

  • There are no takeaways this week! Because, unless you count Italy’s two friendlies, there were no games to discuss! (Gotta love Italy playing a meaningless friendly on the same day of the opening day of the World Cup, by the way.)
  • We don’t know if you’ve heard, but Juventus went into the World Cup break on a six-game domestic winning streak. Because of that, we decided to start out with some positivity.
  • What were some of the positives from the first half of the season?
  • The kids — most notably Nicolo Fagioli and Fabio Miretti — have been doing pretty well.
  • Juventus’ defense has played surprisingly well. So much so that they’ve allowed just seven goals all season — four of those coming in two games — and have the best defense in the league. They went into the World Cup break with six straight shutouts.
  • Danilo is good. Bremer is good. Alex Sandro ... also fairly good lately, too?!
  • And then the not-so-good stuff from the 2022-23 season. Yes, the Champions League might have been mentioned. Same goes for all those damn injuries Juve’s had this year.
  • There’s also how Max Allegri has managed for much of the season — which was not great.
  • Twitter questions — including if it’s time to truly move on from Leonardo Bonucci and if Danilo should become a full-time center back with how well he’s played there this season, allowing Juventus to focus on signing a new fullback or two.
