Il Corriere della Sera reports Juventus players are confused as Andrea Pirlo doesn’t speak about tactics with them: ‘It’s the same thing that happened with Maurizio Sarri.’
Juventus sit fourth in the Serie A table together with Napoli who are six points short of table leaders Milan.
According to Il Corriere della Sera, Juventus players believe Pirlo doesn’t discuss tactical issues with them as his assistant Igor Tudor is tasked with the job while Roberto Baronio gives instructions during matches.
The report adds Pirlo’s silences have an impact on the build-up of the team which is not always smooth. Players like Paulo Dybala and Dejan Kulusevski have not quite understood what the coach wants from them on a tactical level and the same is true of some midfielders, especially on the defensive phase.
Last but not least, Cristiano Ronaldo decided to rest against Benevento, according to the report, but the Old Lady's problems are evident also when CR7 plays. The team is often too stretched, whether the Portuguese plays or not.
The Old Lady have only won one of the four games they played without the former Real Madrid star this season.

I'm not judging Pirlo but i think Pirlo was rushed into management or should i say ,assuming he wasn't forced or persuaded in this regard he rushed himself into managing a Juventus team that is under so much pressure for champions league glory. There's too much pressure for such a young and inexperienced manager like him. Before some of you mention Frank Lampard because that's what all you haters do everytime i comment, Frank Lampard case is different, frank Lampard timing was right now he's allowed to build his own team in his own identity and vision same thing klopp did at Liverpool 5 years ago. The point here is it's not about Pirlo being inexperienced it's about his timing i feel he came at Juventus at the wrong time when they had signed superstars like CR7 and delight and their mandate is clear Champions league or you out. Juventus sacked their best manager in so many years Max Allegri because he couldn't win them the UEFA champions league neither i remind you Allegri reached two champions league finals , the question is can Pirlo deliver the Europe's most prestigious trophy? let alone reaching final?
