When Massimiliano Allegri - Juventus coach - learned of the desire of veteran striker Cristiano Ronaldo to leave his club last month, he said, "Life goes on."

But the team's condition is now moving from bad to worse after playing 4 rounds in the Italian Football League season after the transfer of the Portuguese star.

Reaction in Turin was divided over Ronaldo's departure to Manchester United, his former club.

Although he was at the top of the club's top scorer in the seasons he spent among his ranks, many were not happy with his presence in the squad given the money it cost him, represented in his large salary, and his special demands that he always be the most important person on the field.

But after 4 games in the absence of Ronaldo, the most successful Italian league clubs are in the relegation zone without knowing the taste of victory during the current league season so far.

Juventus drew 1-1 with Milan on Sunday, causing the team to fail to achieve any victory in the first 4 rounds of the season for the first time since the 1961-1962 season.

The newspaper "Corriere dello Sport" said that the club had reached "rock bottom", while the newspaper "Totosport" - published in Turin - described the situation in the club as a "crisis".

moral problem

And the Juventus fans were worried after the first 3 matches of their team this season, due to the lack of strong attacks by the team's players on the opponents' goal.

Juventus lost 1-0 in their first home match against newcomer Empoli, almost without ever threatening the opponent's goal.

After that, the team lost to Napoli, but coach Allegri's team seems to have achieved an uprising against Milan on Sunday when he started the match strongly and scored the first goal after 4 minutes after an elaborate counter-attack.

Juventus maintained their lead and excelled completely in the first half, and seemed close to their usual level thanks to the brilliance of Paulo Dybala in leading the attack line.

But the performance and brilliance declined in the second half, as Juventus began losing the ball a lot and failed to keep a clean sheet after Ante Rebic scored the equalizer for Milan, who had more than one chance to win after that despite the presence of the great defenders Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci.

"The problem, in my opinion, is more psychological than physical," Juventus defender Danilo said after the match.

"In these moments, we cannot press or move defensively in an integrated unit. We do not pass the ball fast enough, and this is - for sure - an aspect in which we need to improve."

"We have to focus only on our mission and our progress, not on what other teams are doing. If we can play at our usual level, we will be able to advance in the standings," Danilo added.

But regaining the league title will certainly be a very difficult task.
