National striker Nick Woltemade is facing a tough time at his new club Juventus Turin.

The Gazzetta dello Sport noted that he still has much to learn and needs to adapt to the level of Italian football following Juventus' surprising 2:3 defeat at US Sassuolo on Sunday. The publication wrote that Juventus' strikers still need to find their rhythm together. It added that former Frankfurt player Randal Kolo Muani must adapt to Juventus' style of play and, above all, better understand his position on the pitch. According to the Gazzetta, Woltemade still appears unable to find the right position.

All five goals in the match came after the 60th minute, when Woltemade came on for his second appearance in a Juventus shirt.

The 24-year-old had no part in any of Juventus' goals. In fact, in the 84th minute, Woltemade squandered a good opportunity to put Juventus ahead 2:1. Following a corner kick, he had a free header from five yards out but sent it wide of the goal.

Sebastiano Esposito had put Sassuolo ahead in the 65th minute. Then Eden Zhegrova equalized for Juventus in the 82nd minute. The Kosovo international, who was born in Herford, had been brought on at the same time as Woltemade.

Juventus Turin: Nick Woltemade already "integrated"

Events spiraled in the closing stages: Kieron Bowie put Sassuolo back ahead in the 89th minute, and Zhegrova equalized again in the 90th+1 minute. Juventus loanee Vasilije Adzic scored the winning goal for Sassuolo in the 90th+4 minute.

Woltemade made his Juventus debut in the top match against AC Milan (1:1). After that, manager Luciano Spalletti emphasized that he would continue to rely on Kolo Muani in the center of attack. At the press conference before the Sassuolo match, Spalletti did praise Woltemade, saying he had quickly integrated into the squad following his loan transfer from Newcastle United to Juventus.
