Former Juventus defender Alessandro Birindelli has questioned the character of the current team. Juve have managed just one win in their last five games.
"I think this team is less dynamic than Conte's," Birindelli reflected to tuttojuve.com.
"They're a little more predictable, less attacks down the wing and less quick counter-attacks. When Conte's team ran onto the field there was a continuous drive to go out and break the defensive lines, greater movement from right to left and full-backs who were wingers as well.
"This year I've seen a few games where Lichtsteiner or Asamoah or whoever is in their positions hasn't had the ball.
"No-one has been particularly bad, but there's less aggression, it's a less hungry team which is lacking in that little bit of nastiness to go and get a result even when things aren't going well.
"In the past few years, rather than losing a game in the 90th minute, they'd win it in the 90th minute. That's the difference."
