Vialli: "Juventus have made great acquisitions but everyone focused on the fact they lost Bonucci"
Juventus-Olympiakos, the waiting's over. Second game for the bianconeri in Champions League, who surely would want to get back to winning after the Cardiff final and the big defeat against Barcelona. Tuttosport has asked Gianluca Vialli what season would Juve have: "It's been an odd summer after Cardiff, people were talking more about Bonucci than the great acquisitions they've made... They've suffered a beating against Barcelona, but I think the bianconera season started there and they've been amazing against Toro. I expect them to confirm against Olympiacos. Then Allegri will slowly but surely get to the right balance thanks to his intelligence".
"At Berlin the team they faced was too strong. Juve did a great game but Barca was at their best. Against Real I think it was one of the less beautiful Juve of last season: they missed some things like determination, malice. Then they may also got down with the Scudetto won before the end of the season. Let's also say they faced a really strong opponent".
About Dybala: "He'll also grow between defeats and comparisons. I think about Del Piero and Platini, Baggio. Everyone knows that when Messi will leave Argentina, maybe after the next World Cup, the squad will be between Dybala's feet. Paulo now plays in a great team made of champions. He's found the right balance between equilibrium and freedom, what should be brought by your number 10".
A good mercato in Vialli's opinion: "When I learned Juve was after Keita, I asked myself what would be the point? Between the midfielders I hoped they would get Matuidi. They've got a lot of talents in France but Deschamps' first call always is Matuidi. They would need great players after what happened in Cardiff and they got them with Douglas Costa and Bernardeschi".
About the Champions League: "My favorite was PSG: many years spent at the top, acquisitions of champions like Neymar and Mbappé who reminds me of Henry, and a winning coach like Emery. Then they fought over a penalty... These locker room problems can affect them but if they solve them they could win the cup".
