Juventus struggled in their 1-0 win against Frosinone in their first Serie A match of the season, and they will want to win matches much more comfortably than they did in that fixture. The Bianconeri have been one of the top teams in Italy for decades, but their recent seasons have been disappointing, which is why the club are determined to improve this term. Last season was mixed, and when Luciano Spalletti arrived as their manager, he made the team stronger than it had been during the previous months. It appeared certain that Juventus would qualify for the Champions League, but when the campaign ended, they finished outside the top four and missed out on qualification. The competition is their main goal this season, and Juventus will continue to aim for a place inside the top four. However, their performance against Frosinone showed some of the same bad habits that prevented them from succeeding last term. Juventus Must Improve Their Finishing Pundit Luca Marchegiani watched the game and said to Sky Sports Italia: “Luciano was scared when he saw the flaws that cost them a Champions League spot last year, namely dominating matches and failing to break the deadlock or finish them off. This year, everyone faces a huge responsibility: they have to reach their goal.” The comments highlight the concerns surrounding Juventus after their opening league fixture. Although they secured the victory, they were unable to turn their control of the game into a more convincing scoreline. The Bianconeri will need to become more effective in front of goal if they are to achieve their main objective. Dominating matches without finishing them could once again cost them valuable points. Narrow victories is not enough Winning the opening match was important, but Juventus cannot rely on narrow victories throughout the season. If they want to return to the Champions League, they must learn from the problems that affected them last term and make sure those weaknesses do not cost them again.
