Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri took full responsibility for his team’s disappointing 2-2 draw against Bologna, admitting, “We are not satisfied with the result or even with what we did. It is all my responsibility, I accept it.”
The match seemed destined for a Bologna victory until young Belgian winger Samuel Mbangula entered the game in the 80th minute. Mbangula, who had also been denied a penalty minutes earlier, delivered a stunning strike in stoppage time (90+2) to salvage a draw for Juventus.
This marked Mbangula’s second Man of the Match award this season. While he expressed satisfaction with scoring, he acknowledged the team’s shortcomings. “It’s always a special emotion to score with the first team and I hope to score more in the future. But it wasn’t enough. We beleive that with our qualities we had to win. We can do better and we must do better,” he told DAZN.
Despite the team’s struggles, mbangula has emerged as a bright spot for Juventus. In just 346 minutes of play,he has scored two goals and provided three assists,averaging a goal contribution every 69 minutes – a significantly higher rate than any of his fellow wingers.
Although Mbangula has only started once since his notable early season performances, his limited playing time has made it difficult for him to consistently shine.It remains to be seen whether Allegri will give him more opportunities. The answer may come this Wednesday when Juventus hosts Manchester City.
Mbangula’s recent performances have garnered attention, and he has spoken publicly about the impact his success has had on his life.
he recently signed a contract extension with juventus, securing his future with the club until 2028.

**World Today News Exclusive interview with Football Analyst,marco Rossi**
**WTN:** Following Juventus’s 2-2 draw against Bologna,coach Massimiliano Allegri took full duty for teh disappointing result. What are your thoughts on his statement and Juventus’s performance overall?
**Marco rossi:** Allegri’s statement reflects the frustration felt by the Juventus faithful and himself. There’s no denying that the draw was a letdown. Juventus dominated possession, created chances, but lacked the clinical edge expected from a team of their caliber.
They seemed complacent at times and Bologna,with their spirited counter-attacking style,capitalized on these lapses. While credit must be given to Bologna for their resilience, Juventus undoubtedly left points on the table.
**WTN:** The match seemed destined for a Bologna victory untill Samuel Mbangula’s intervention.Could you elaborate on his impact and the importance of his goal?
**Marco Rossi:** Mbangula’s introduction breathed new life into Juventus’ attack. His pace and directness caused problems for Bologna’s defense, and his ability to create chances out of nothing is truly impressive.
The denied penalty beforehand compounded their frustration,making Mbangula’s late strike even more dramatic.It showcased his composure and talent, rescuing a point for Juventus and offering a glimmer of hope for the future.
**WTN:** Looking ahead, what key takeaways can Juventus draw from this match?
**Marco Rossi:** This match should serve as a stark reminder that complacency can be costly in serie A. Juventus need to rediscover their ruthlessness in front of goal and maintain their intensity throughout the 90 minutes.
Mbangula’s emergence is a positive note, highlighting the depth within the squad. It will be interesting to see if Allegri bestows more responsibility on the young winger in the coming games.
