Sarri against Lyon must find the real Juve also to wipe out doubts about his future. There are no signs of a Juve looking for a new coach, but it is difficult to weigh adequately the consequences of a possible elimination on Friday.

The management will certainly judge all the merits of Sarri: he won the scudetto despite a very complicated season, has enhanced Ronaldo (a crucial asset for Juve also from a commercial point of view), has brought Dybala back to life and managed De Ligt and Rabiot to perfection.

The biggest doubts are related to the blackouts during the games and the defensive fragility expressed this sesson due to Chiellini out for the entire season (and Demiral for half) but also for the revolutionized defensive wanted by Sarri and that wasn’t metabolized by the team.

It won’t be about the absence or presence of the notorious ‘Sarri ball' which many believe was the reason to chose him. In reality Paratici and Nedved didn’t ask to have fun but to win and give a right impulse to revitalize the squad and offer a propositive style in Europe.
