Udinese 2-2 Juventus: 3 key takeaways from the game

2. Juan Cuadrado was emphatic for Juventus!

With a wreath of praise and appreciation having been already put on Dybala’s shoulders, it’s time to go deep about his partner in scoring for Juventus on Sunday evening, Juan Cuadrado.

Not only did he score, but he also played an integral part for Juventus when it comes to contributing to the defence.

What was previously looking like a 4-4-2 from Max Allegri soon became 5-3-2 while defending. In what was a small tactical tweak, the 33-year-old Colombian was regularly joining the defence line, with Danilo moving deeper to make it a back of three men while defending. It provided Juventus with apt defensive security.

While remaining on the pitch before getting substituted at the 73rd minute of the game, the veteran made three tackles, one interception and one clearance, as per the stats from Whoscored.com.

On the attack, Cuadrado had the freedom to march forward, as manifested by his significant second goal of the match. As per the stats from Whoscored.com, he completed two dribbles and 37 passes with an accuracy of almost 92 per cent. He also attempted four long balls with a success rate of 100 per cent. Always smiling on the pitch, he and his performance deserved a better result than this. That being said, we head towards the culprit for this drop of points.
