Paolo De Paola critiques Juventus strikers for lack of physicality

Summary

Paolo De Paola expressed concerns over Juventus' new striking duo, Randal Kolo Muani and Nick Woltemade, citing their fragility for Serie A. Juventus, having moved on from Dusan Vlahovic and loaned out Jonathan David and Lois Openda, is trying to address its previous season's goal-scoring struggles. In a recent match against NEC, the team scored five goals, but critics question whether this performance can be replicated against stronger opponents. De Paola believes the new forwards may benefit from improving their physical fitness to meet league demands.
