The 22 year old Canadian midfielder had a breakout season in her second year with the club. Grosso was the central point for Juventus along with Arianna Carusuo at the midfield position. Playing in 20 league matches this season for the club, Grosso was part of a squad that led the league in passing percentage in what was one of the most unselfish offenses in the league.
Julia Grosso was not only at the top of Juventus, but in the entire league at distributing the ball.
Grosso had her fair share of possession time this season, top 7 for the club in touches and passes attempted. The Canadian midfielder did the most with her time on the ball, having the second best assists per 90 minutes in the league (0.47). Grosso’s 7 assists were the second most on the team and top 5 in the league.
Grosso was a maestro distributing the ball to her teammates on the pitch. Juventus had a team passing completion percentage of 81.2%, the only club above 80%. This high passing percentage was led by Grosso’s astounding 91.8%, the only player above 90%.
What’s next for Grosso.
You can next see Julia Grosso play for her national team at the Women’s World Cup. The seventh ranked Canadian team’s first match is July 21st against Nigeria, followed by the rest of their group matches against Ireland and Australia.
Grosso is penned with Juventus through the 2024 season. The 21 year old has made herself a key part of the club and is likely looking at an extension soon. One that the club and fans would both celebrate, keeping the young star in black and white.
