Matthijs de Ligt Considered Unworthy of Strengthening Juventus

DBasia.news –  Matthijs de Ligt, Juventus’ new signing, was bombarded with criticism for his poor performance on the preseason tour. De Ligt is believed to be not ready to play for the Bianconeri.

Matthijs de Ligt was widely discussed by many parties after appearing impressively in the 2018-2019 Champions League. The Dutch national team player has made the Ajax Amsterdam defense difficult to penetrate.

Not surprisingly, a number of clubs such as Manchester United, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Manchester City and Juventus are trying to bring him in. After a long negotiation process, De Ligt finally docked to the Bianconeri.

La Vecchia Signora reportedly spent 65 million euros to recruit Matthijs de Ligt. In addition, in the 20-year-old player’s contract there is also a release clause worth of 150 million euros.

Juventus manager, Maurizio Sarri, has tried to play De Ligt in several preseason matches. De Ligt appeared on the heart of the defense duet with Leonardo Bonucci.

However, after a number of matches that had passed, discordant comments began to emerge regarding De Ligt’s appearance. They assed that De Ligt still was still unable to prove if the performance on the field is directly proportional to the money that has been spent by Juventus.

A few of Italian medias have rated that De Ligt looked like he was having difficulty when competing against Atletico Madrid. The player is considered to be still unable to stem Joao Felix.

Juventus who are known to have a strong defense is unable to give proof. Of the five preseason matches, the Serie A champions’ goal has been ripped nine times.

Despite this, De Ligt is not fit to be made a scapegoat for the record. He only appeared for 143 minutes in five Juventus pre-season matches.

The real proof is when the 2019-2020 season rolled in. One thing is certain, Matthijs de Ligt has great hopes from Juventus supporters.
