Matthijs Of Ligt is not having some at all easy beginnings in the Juventus. The central Dutch follows without reencontrarse with the excelso level of performance that showed in the Ajax of Amsterdam, and the Italian press does not cease in his criticisms. This Saturday, in the meeting against the Bolonia that finish with triumph agónico of the Juve in his own stadium (2-1), the young defender cut a centre with the hand inside the area of the 'bianconeri' in the discount, after a slip.

Surprisingly, the referee Massimiliano Irrati, after seeing thoroughly several repetitions with the VAR, did not signal maximum penalty for the visitors. This did not rid to the Dutch of the trial of the media, taking into account besides that, during the party, to the Dutch saved him in several occasions the veteran Leonardo Bonucci, his couple in the axis of the defence.

The newspaper 'Tuttosport' describes the performance showed up to now by Of Ligt of "imperfect", whereas the 'Gazzetta dello Sport' considers it "errático". By his part, 'Il Corrierre dello Sport' recognised that the central youngster "did not have a comfortable night" in front of the Bolonia.

It follows without adapting to the new ecosystem of game neither to the Series To, and the same player confessed in an interview that is costing him show his best version with the T-shirt 'bianconeri'. It would have gone him better in the FC Barcelona? The reality is that, taking into account that the style of game 'ajacied' is very seemed to the of the Barça, surely Of Ligt would have needed less time of adaptation.

Of Ligt and Of Jong, opposite situations

it is costing Him Strengthen besides like titling indisputable to the orders of Maurizio Sarri, by what does not know if it would have had of more minutes in the Juventus that in the Barça during this beginning of course. It was as it was, the question is that it took the decision to leave to Italy, and no longer there is possibility in the short term that it can dress the Barcelona T-shirt.

All the contrary that his big fellow Frenkie of Jong, that is showing already his best level in the FC Barcelona, Of Ligt will need more time of adaptation to his new team.
