Paolo Di Canio is worried about Juventus after a 2-0 loss to Genoa: ‘There’s no identity, no soul; I don’t understand how they can find a solution.’

Juventus suffered their second loss in the last three Serie A matches on Wednesday, losing 2-0 away at Genoa.

Di Canio: ‘I don’t understand how Juventus can find a solution’

The Bianconeri have the second-worst attack in the Serie A top ten and are already 11 points behind table leaders Lazio and Inter.

“It’s how they are getting these results. There’s no identity, no soul, in this team. You can change systems. You might beat some teams, like Lecce; some teams in Italy aren’t that strong. They might look pretty, but they don’t bite in front of goal,” former Italian striker Di Canio told Sky Sport Italia.

“There’s no soul. You don’t see the light. You see ten minutes, 15 minutes. But then you see players like Kalulu, who, in terms of reliability, were always there, always doing the right things, make these types of mistakes.

“It’s really chaos. I don’t understand how they can find a solution.”

Goals from Kingsley Ehizibue and Tommaso Baldanzi in the first half helped Genoa win yesterday, while Juventus didn’t score for the second time in three matches.

Juventus’ next match is against Napoli at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.

The Partenopei, coached by Juventus’ former coach Massimiliano Allegri, who will be suspended next Sunday, beat Monza 4-1 away in the Serie A midweek round.

Both Napoli have Juventus have grabbed 14 points in the opening nine Serie A games of the campaign. Napoli have scored more goals than the Bianconeri (17 to 11), but conceded one more (11 to 10).
