Former AC Milan coach Arrigo Sacchi feels Andrea Pirlo is facing a battle of motivation for Juventus players.

Juve have struggled this season under the rookie coach.

But Sacchi reasons: “Pirlo is facing a difficult problem to solve, many players are not able to find the competitive fury, enthusiasm and determination that have always been one of the strengths of the Bianconeri.

“Juventus' game has never reached high heights, they have remained tactical with European rivals who were already strategic.

“This is one of the reasons why they have always struggled at international level. Transformations should be made when things are working, you are more receptive. Peter Drucker, a philosopher, used to say, 'If something works, correct it."
