For a lucky defense, they look for a suitable goalkeeper.

Juventus are ninth in Serie A in terms of goals expected from their opponents, but have conceded only seven goals, which puts them in third place behind Lazio and Atalanta. What do these protective lines have in common? They are all terribly lucky. The Romans have avoided a further 7-8 goals, but Sarri knows the reason for the anomaly: the 28-year-old Provedel, who was hiding from the world of great football in La Spezia, has betrayed the performance of his life. Ivan has saved 87% of his shots, which is insanely high. Even in Bergamo there are no secrets. Gasperini has more control of his team than Allegri, and has two goalkeepers at the same time with a decent percentage of saves after losing his usual main.

Juventus could concede twice as many goals, but Szczesny and Perin have saved a total of 23 shots in ten games. It seems little, but since Salernitana, Roma and Sampdoria were ahead in the quality of the chances in the days of draw against Allegri, single saves are worth: Juventus have only two defeats instead of five. Defense allows you to go to eighth position. It is only up to the leader of Napoli now ten points, it is difficult to dream of a championship fight, except maybe way out of the crisis. And in the Champions League, Juventus’ tricks don’t work: they conceded 7 goals in four games, lost three times.

Perin and Szczesny are not the worst of the team, but at the same time this duet does not have a goalkeeper who will represent Juventus as champions of the future. They planned to make the legend’s namesake, Donnarumma, the new Buffon, but he chose money and ambitions in PSG. He did the right thing, if he had moved to Turin he would have been hated at home in Naples, hated in Milan and also he would have lost his chances for club trophies. Juventus are currently in last place in their group, Benfica e PSG one step away from the playoffs. Even if Allegri beats Maccabi in the end, nothing changes. You have to change the game and try to earn points. For example, the goalkeeper.

Giorgi Mamardashvili (Valencia / Georgia)

Kvaratskhelia’s success chronologically is not the first success of a young Georgian in the top 5. Mamardashvili was in Valencia last year and is still the team’s first number. Now Los Ches are coached by the Italian Gattuso, with whom Nedved or Agnelli can discuss Giorgi’s form at any time. The Georgian goalkeeper is a logical candidate for his age – only 22, anthropometry – almost two meters, heavy, and the desire to move to a new level. With the defense of Valencia it is difficult to impress with long saves. Eccentric Lim’s club is in an eternal crisis, and if Mamardashvili shows good football in the coming months, he’ll be a worthy contender for a spot in a big club, like Juve. Giorgi bravely steps out of the gate, and has Italian equipment at stake. If he’s a psychologically stable guy, he’ll appear in a big club.

David De Gea (Manchester United / Spain)

The only question here is only about psychology. Isn’t David messed up? He is no longer the first number of the Spanish national team, the only time he became champion Premier League under Sir Alex Ferguson. De Gea is a great goalkeeper who has brought out many struggles over courage. And at the same time a man who has never become a legend of the “Red Devils” like Schmeichel or Van Der Sar. The Spaniard was less fortunate in defense, but as those results in Manchester will have to count the money, no matter how Ten Hag offered to let the almost 32-year-old goalkeeper go to Juventus in the summer, so that a young man on a salary would not so tall it would take its place. Will De Gea strengthen the Turin club? It is not a fact, given that Chiellini and De Ligt have left the Bianconeri, and he could follow Bonucci. Bremer is not the worst defender in the world, but does David himself have to think about whether to leave Manchester? It took many years to insist on moving to Real Madrid, and now the train has left.

Keylor Navas (PSG/ Costa Rica)

Good news for Juventus – Navas was already looking for a new club, and only some disagreements with the managers PSG did not allow him to play for Napoli now. The bad news for Allegri is that if, after the World Cup, where Navas trains against Costa Rica and, if he shows class, he makes himself heard again, Keylor will choose Spalletti’s team rather than the Turin club. Navas was routinely underestimated, since he is an unformatted goalkeeper for big clubs in the 21st century – only 185cm, in some clubs that growth is considered critically low for a goalkeeper. Navas demonstrated at Real Madrid and PSGwhich is all nonsense, but given that he is 36 in December, it makes no sense to change 32-year-old Szczesny, who also plans to play in Qatar, for his peer-age colleague. Unless Allegri and Wojciech have conflicts we are not aware of.

Emiliano Martinez (Aston Villa / Argentina)

Szczesny, Buffon, Peruzzi and Van Der are goalkeepers of different formats and approaches, and only Edwin did not succeed at all in Turin. Szczesny, who played oddly at Arsenal’s goal and then played for Roma for several years, has been in Turin for five years, but made mistakes after big stretches. Can it be said that the club management does not see him as a big star? In this case, they will look for a newcomer. And if 30-year-old Martinez, another former Arsenal goalkeeper, like Szczesny, shows great football in Scolari and Messi’s side, he’ll get an invitation to Juventus. Emiliano is the same big boy as Szczesny, De Gea and Mamardashvili, but he is a couple of years younger than Wojciech and David. And he has not yet revealed his full potential, because Aston Villa is one step away from the direct relegation zone. Gerrard won’t lie that defense is the Birmingham club’s worst line, but Steven’s blinders often put Martinez on his feet.

Emiliano does not have much work to do quantitatively, but only two times out of ten leaves the field without the ball conceded, and in terms of percentage of saves he is not far behind De Gea. Perhaps the Argentine, like the Spaniard, just wants a change of scenery. It is more profitable for Juventus to attract the 22-year-old Georgian if Mamardashvili turns out to be a future superstar, but in Turin there are cautious guys, so hiring a centuries-old goalkeeper is also not excluded. They will publicly say that they are satisfied with Szczesny and Perinn. But it is not worth trusting everything the Juventus managers have been saying in these days and months. It is clear that the problem is not alone incomprehensible work Merry.
