Former footballer Simone Braglia has backed Juventus to compete for silverware this season, pointing to signs of progress in the team's recent performances.
Juventus dropped points in consecutive league games earlier in the campaign, a run that raised doubts among supporters about the team's ability to compete consistently. The side responded with a 5-0 Europa League win over NEC and a Serie A victory against Atalanta just before the international break.
Speaking via Tuttojuve, Braglia said he sees both quality and unity in the squad. "Juve can both lift a trophy and qualify for the Champions League. We saw progress in the last match, and there's a unity within the team, even among the current management, that gives us hope," he said.
The back-to-back wins have lifted optimism among Juventus fans, who had grown concerned during the earlier slump. Supporters will be watching for the team to maintain its form once domestic and European fixtures resume after the international break.
