The ongoing struggles of Juventus continue to be a topic of heated discussion among the Bianconeri faithful, especially following the disappointing 2-2 draw against Venezia. Thiago Motta’s team continues to underwhelm in terms of both performance and results, and after the latest league match that saw Juve fall 9 points behind table-toppers Atalanta and 3 points away from the last Champions League spot, fans at the Stadium erupted in protest.
Among the players who faced the brunt of the Juventus supporters’ outburst was American midfielder Weston McKennie, who spoke to CBS about the team’s current situation. “It’s hard to say that I’m satisfied,” McKennie admitted. “Obviously, it’s fantastic to be unbeaten in the league, but many of our matches have ended in draws. We’re trying to figure out what we’re lacking, what we’re not doing right.”
McKennie highlighted the team’s struggle to maintain a consistent mentality, especially against less prestigious opponents. “We often refer to our mentality to become the great team that is normal for Juventus, the same level we showed against Manchester City. We need to maintain that standard when we play against less renowned teams.”
The American midfielder recently returned from a muscle injury that sidelined him for three matches across the league and Champions League before making a strong comeback against Manchester City, even scoring the final goal in their 2-0 victory. Since the start of the season, the Texan player has participated in a total of 15 matches and found the back of the net on 3 occasions.
