The situation is not the best in Juventus at the moment, first of all the team received a serious emotional blow after being eliminated in the Champions League round of 16 against Villarreal, now the Italian press points to a situation that happened inside the dressing room and in which Colombian Juan Guillermo would be involved Cuadrado, Argentinian Paulo Dybala and Italian coach Massimiliano Allegri.

After losing the match against Villarreal 3-0 at Juventus Stadium, the team is preparing for the next match against Salernitana on the 30th date of Serie A. After this, some versions of a situation that arose in the team's locker room were leaked in what would have been a discussion between the two captains of the Vecchia Signora and the Italian coach.

Everything seems to indicate and according to the Gazzetta dello Sport versions what happened was that Juan Guillermo Cuadrado and Paulo Dyabala, who are captains of the team, waited for the coach in their personal locker room to demand more free time before the match with Salernitana.

Dybala and Cuadrado came to Allegri to ask him about the plans for today, the eve of Juve-Salernitana. Topic for discussion: the program with the pre-match retreat... and in particular the schedules of today's training”, said the Italian media.

Apparently the coach's response was sharp and he pointed to Paulo Dybala, a player who is one of the top players of the team, but who has not been able to stand out as before and even took a place among the substitutes. For this reason the coach would have told them: “You just ask me for something like that”, a response that did not fall in favor of the player.

The Italian press emphasizes that this shows the regular moment that the team is going through, both on a football and personal level between the players and the coach. The confrontation, which has happened in football at other times and will happen at other times, will not necessarily have consequences but it is indicative of the timing of Juve in general and Dybala, rather than Cuadrado, in particular.”

Recall that after the defeat with Villarreal, there was talk that Colombian Juan Guillermo Cuadrado would not be part of the team that would play against Salernitana, something that the Italian press assured, as they would seek to protect the Colombian from some discomfort before his trip to Barranquilla where he will join the Colombian National Team.

The Italian media Tuttosport said a few days ago that, “Danilo, for example, is among those who have spent the most energy physically. Against Salernitana he could start on the bench, just like Cuadrado (who has had some ailments) and who has played everything since the derby against Torino on February 18, skipping just the first half of Fiorentina-Juventus of the Italian Cup), with De Sciglio available for a new appearance and Luca Pellegrini to return to the starter.”

Despite this information and after what happened, it is not yet known whether the Colombian will finally not be part of the starting eleven who will seek a win at home to stay in the Champions League qualifying positions. Juve is fourth in the table with 56 points and is 4 behind Inter who is third and 7 behind the leaders, Napoli and Milan.
