#2 Cuadrado fails to impress

Juventus v Juventus U19 - Pre-Season Friendly
Cuadrado's place might be at risk

Juventus have a wealth of wide attacking options at their disposal, with Juan Cuadrado receiving the nod this time. The Colombian did little to make his case, as his performance was moderate at best.

He failed to create any decisive threat to the Chievo backline and was often seen playing sideways and backward passes. Arguably Joao Cancelo, the full-back on his side provided a better attacking contribution.

Cuadrado has the likes of Bernardeschi and Mandzukic competing with him for places and both of them impressed from the bench. In particular, Cuadrado had the ball on the counter-attack when Juve had a 4 versus 2 situation. He blazed over when better passing options were available to draw ire from his teammates.

Cuadrado did not even complete an hour Allegri may give another chance next week against Lazio but there is no guarantee of the same.
