Tudor: ‘Juventus in a bad moment, but I don’t care about my future’

Juventus manager Igor Tudor expressed frustration with players Andrea Cambiaso and Jonathan David following the team's third consecutive defeat, a 1-0 loss to Lazio. David, making his first start alongside Dusan Vlahovic, made a critical error by heading the ball back poorly, leading to Danilo Cataldi setting up Toma Basic for Lazio's winning goal from outside the area. Tudor responded by shouting at Cambiaso during the match and substituting him at halftime, citing Cambiaso's struggles and poor interpretation of his role.

In his post-match comments to DAZN Italia, Tudor acknowledged the team's effort but highlighted recurring issues, including individual mistakes and a failure to convert chances. He noted that despite trying different tactical setups, such as starting with two strikers and later adding more attacking players, Juventus has gone four games without scoring—a problem not seen since 1991. The team is now on an eight-game winless streak, with three straight losses, marking their worst run since 2009.

Tudor emphasized collective responsibility and the need for unity, urging the team to focus on upcoming matches without dramatizing the situation. He pointed out that defensive errors are consistently punished and that the team struggles to finish opportunities, even with multiple attackers on the field. Adjustments during the game, like swapping Cambiaso and Weston McKennie to better cover roles, were made to address tactical weaknesses.

Despite the challenges, Tudor remained focused on improving performance rather than his own future, stressing that a victory could help turn things around. He concluded that the team must avoid mistakes and capitalize on chances to end their scoring drought and negative streak.
