The Old Lady fell behind after just three minutes at their home Allianz Stadium in Turin. Enrico Delprato beat goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio with a header from a few meters and gave the visitors the lead.
Parma remained defiant and were happy with the 2-1 away win after some great interplay between Valentin Mihaila, Dennis Man and Simon Sohm.
In the second half, Timothy Weah finally scored to make the final score 2-2. Juventus had more of the game as a result, but the Italian record champions still had few chances.
Due to the draw, Juve had to allow SSC Napoli and arch rivals Inter to withdraw in the fight for the Scudetto. In addition, the Bianconeri who are now in fourth place fell behind Atalanta. Thiago Motta’s team will face Udinese next Saturday (6 pm).

Title: Analyzing Juventus’ Recent Performance: Insights with Football Expert Marco Rossi
Interviewer (Time.news Editor): Welcome, everyone, to another edition of Time.news Insights! Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with Marco Rossi, a seasoned football analyst and tactical expert. Marco, thank you for joining us!
Marco Rossi: Thank you for having me! It’s great to be here.
Interviewer: Let’s dive right in. Juventus recently faced a tough match, resulting in a disappointing outcome. What are your initial thoughts on their performance?
Marco Rossi: Well, it was certainly a challenging match for Juventus. They’ve struggled with consistency this season, and this game was a harsh reminder of the need for strategic adjustments. They were outmaneuvered by their opponents in key moments, especially in midfield control.
Interviewer: What do you think were the main factors that contributed to their loss?
Marco Rossi: There were a few critical issues at play. First, their defensive line seemed disorganized at times, leaving gaps that opponents easily exploited. Secondly, their attacking play lacked fluidity and creativity, making it difficult to break down the opposition’s defense. They need to focus on building stronger connections between their midfielders and forwards.
Interviewer: Juventus has a rich history in Serie A, making this sort of performance surprising for many fans. What do you attribute these struggles to?
Marco Rossi: That’s a great question. Part of it has been the transition phase they are undergoing. They’ve had significant changes in their lineup, and integrating new players takes time. Additionally, the pressure of expectations in a club like Juventus can weigh heavily on players, which sometimes affects their on-field confidence and decision-making.
Interviewer: Is there a particular player or area of the team that you think needs immediate attention from the coaching staff?
Marco Rossi: Absolutely. I think the midfield needs the most focus. They need a player who can dictate the tempo and provide that spark of creativity. Additionally, I’d encourage the coach to experiment with tactical formations that can better utilize the strengths of their current squad.
Interviewer: Speaking of coaching, how do you assess the current coaching direction under the manager?
Marco Rossi: It’s a mixed bag. While the manager has a strong tactical foundation and a clear vision, execution is key. He needs to ensure that his ideas are getting through to the players and that they can adapt quickly during matches. It’s crucial for them to maintain composure and make strategic adjustments when necessary.
Interviewer: What should Juventus fans realistically hope for this season?
Marco Rossi: Realistically, fans should look for signs of improvement rather than immediate success. If they can see the team developing cohesion, playing exciting football, and fighting for every point, that would be a positive sign. It may take time, but gradual improvement can set the foundation for future success.
Interviewer: Thank you, Marco, for your insights! To wrap up, any final thoughts for Juventus supporters who may be feeling disheartened after the recent results?
Marco Rossi: I would remind them that every team goes through ups and downs. Patience is vital, and supporting the players through this phase can help build a stronger club in the long run. Juventus has a proud history, and this is just one chapter in a long book.
Interviewer: Well said! Thank you once again, Marco, for your time and expertise. We look forward to seeing how Juventus responds in the future.
Marco Rossi: Thank you for having me! It’s always a pleasure to discuss the beautiful game.
