The Juventus midfield during the 2024-25 season faced selection crises due to injuries, yet maintained relative health compared to the coaching duo's challenges. Performance was inconsistent, characterized by two high-profile acquisitions failing to meet expectations while a less heralded midfielder emerged as crucial. Unexpected players, initially unwanted, eventually became pivotal, showcasing a blend of underachievement and the formation of a strong lineup. Despite a tumultuous year where the unit struggled and shone, there is now positive outlook for future performances, indicating potential growth.
For a unit that has been a point of contention for years, this season was a strange mix of underachievement combined with the solidification of its best combination of players in a good while.
Two big-money acquisitions over the summer end up as first-season flops, while a more modestly priced midfielder became one of the team's most important players.
The initial intent with Adzic was to start him at the Next Gen and integrate him into the first team, but his performances in preseason impressed Motta.
It was a Jekyll and Hyde type of year for this group, but one that somewhat oddly ended with some encouragement for the future.
