Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio (28) had to disable comments on social media due to the anger of Bianconeri fans. They pounced on him after the errors that led to Luciano Spalletti's recent poor results.
A “scapegoat” has been found for Juventus' crisis of results. Goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio became the main target of fans who insulted him during the warm-up of last weekend's match against Como, which the Bianconeri lost 2-0 at the Allianz Stadium.
Hostile reactions from the “Old Lady” fans continued during the match, after the Italian goalkeeper again blundered on the first goal scored by Vojvoda in the 11th minute, on which he had a slow intervention.
Fans called Di Gregorio “son of a ***” and “interist”
The insults, which included references to his past at rivals Inter's academy, escalated on social media after the final whistle. Di Gregorio and his family have been the target of offensive messages and threats, prompting the goalkeeper to disable comments on his social media posts.

The pressure on the goalkeeper has intensified in the context in which he is aware of the goals in the Champions League against Dortmund and Galatasaray, but also recently against Inter.
In fact, the entire defensive department showed vulnerability throughout the season. In total, Juventus have conceded 33 goals in 30 matches in all competitions, and in the league they have conceded a goal on the opponents' first shot in half of their matches!
In the Champions League, Luciano Spalletti also used Mattia Perin in goal, who found the ball four times in three games (against Villarreal, Bodo/Glimt and AS Monaco). And Gazzetta dello Sport writes about real chances that Perin will start tomorrow evening, in the return match with Galatasaray.
“Confidence in Michele Di Gregorio remains intact, but maybe it's time to ease the pressure on the captain”
“Juventus' back-up goalkeeper has failed to impress in his seven appearances this season and has even contributed (against Lazio and twice against Cagliari and in the Coppa Italia against Atalanta) to that incredible first-shot goal tally.

Moreover, in his final season at Juventus, Perin proved to be more of a locker room man, which is why Spalletti refused to let him go to Genoa in the winter. Tomorrow night, he could tick off his fourth Champions League game of the season. Confidence in Di Gregorio remains intact, but maybe it's time to take the pressure off him.” writes the pink daily.
right TuttosportSpalletti has already shown his support for the goalkeeper, both publicly and privately, and the dressing room does not dispute his professionalism or attitude. The same source states that the debate on the goalkeeper position can be reopened in the summer, name ca Vicario (Tottenham), Carnesecchi (Atalanta) and De Gea being taken into account.
With a Champions League decider against Galatasaray on the horizon — Juventus lost the first leg 2-5 — and a visit to the Stadio Olimpico to face Roma in Serie A, Michele Di Gregorio's future at the club is up in the airas well as the qualification of the team in the “eights” of the League and even the presence in the European cups next season.
