49erssports.com - Denis Zakaria assesses that the playing style of his former team, Juventus does not suit him. That's what makes it difficult for the Chelsea midfielder to show his best performance in Turin.
Zakaria joined Juventus in January 2022. At that time he was recruited from the Bundesliga club, Borussia Monchengladbach for a transfer fee of 8.6 million euros.
Unfortunately, Zakaria's career with Juventus only lasted half a season. At the end of the transfer window last summer, Zakaria left for Chelsea on loan.
Denis Zakaria's confession
During half a season in uniform with Juventus, Zakaria was recorded to play 15 times in all competitions by contributing one goal. However, the Swiss midfielder admitted that he did not fit the playing style of Massimiliano Allegri's team.
"It's hard to say what went wrong, maybe his style of football didn't suit me. The team defends very deep, so I don't have much space," Zakaria told Blick.
"I'm a player who needs a lot of space to run. Maybe it's more suitable for me to play in England." he added.
