Under Thiago Motta, Juventus Turin has yet to enjoy a single win. This Saturday, Timothy Weah & Co were neutralized by Stade Brestois (2-2), a friendly match also played by Jonas Martin.
On the shores of the Adriatic, the former Dogues were out to engage in a tough battle. On one side, Juventus Turin of Timothy Weah, present in Piedmont for over a year now, and Stade Brestois of Jonas Martin, who is still living a waking dream in Brittany. This Saturday, in Pescara, the two men engaged in a tight battle, at the end of which neither of them managed to gain the upper hand. Serious, diligent and without complexes, the Bretons opened the scoring through Romain Del Castillo (51′) before breaking twice on set pieces. Dusan Vlahovic first converted a penalty (58′) caused by the former LOSC midfielder when Danilo (72′) doubled the lead with a header. Seeking revenge following its defeat against Naples (0-1), Stade Brestois nevertheless did not give in, snatching a draw (84′) through Axel Camblan (2-2).
With less than two weeks to go until Ligue 1 returns, Eric Roy’s men have been able to put on a good show away from home. However, they have only managed one win since the restart, against two defeats and two draws. Only Avranches, the first opponent of the summer, had collapsed (2-0). At 34 years old, Jonas Martin is taking on a starting role in the absence of Pierre Lees-Melou, who is not yet up to speed after breaking his fibula. On the other hand, Thiago Motta’s Juventus Turin are struggling to get into football with a heavy defeat against Nuremberg (3-0) and this result. Timothy Weah (24 years old), who was knocked around during the Copa América, is getting some significant playing time. This is not the case for Tiago Djalo (24 years old), who was not called up for this game. Just six months after his arrival, transfer rumors are already emerging about him in Italy.
