Juventus struggle to finish in Basel friendly despite strong play

Juventus displayed high intensity and coherent attacking patterns in their pre‑season friendly against Basel, controlling the midfield and creating several chances. Coach Luciano Spalletti praised the team's possession and pressing but criticised the lack of cutting‑edge in the final third, saying the side needs more aggression and a natural goal‑scorer to turn opportunities into goals.

Winger Edon Zhegrova started the match, registering a 95 % pass‑completion rate and solid defensive work, but managed only one shot and failed to succeed in any of his four dribble attempts. The performance highlighted his need to become more decisive in one‑on‑one situations as Juventus looks to bolster its attack.
