New hint about Douglas Luiz-Alisha Lehmann break-up emerges | OneFootball

Multiple reports in Italy now claim that Juventus stars Douglas Luiz and Alisha Lehmann have split up, especially after the pair cancelled their pictures together on social media.

La Gazzetta dello Sport reported on Wednesday that Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz and Juventus Women star Alisha Lehmann have split up due to differing views on their future at the club.

Tuttosport newspaper confirms the story and adds that the pair have cancelled the social media pictures that depicted them together over the last few months and years.

Lehmann and Douglas Luiz joined Juventus from Aston Villa last summer.

While the Brazil international has been struggling for playing time this season, Lehmann appears to have settled in well in Turin and is reportedly unwilling to leave the Juventus Women’s team at the end of the current campaign.

Douglas Luiz seems to be frustrated by a lack of playing time and recently vented his anger on social media, asking a Juventus fan why he has never played two consecutive matches with the Bianconeri.

Reactions to Douglas Luiz’s comment

While the Old Lady could decide to take action against the Brazilian midfielder, ex-Juventus star Alessio Tacchinardi discussed Douglas Luiz’s latest claims, recalling what happened after the former Aston Villa midfielder caused a penalty kick against RB Leipzig in October.

“Motta was asked if he had spoken to Douglas, but he replied: ‘No, but he had a good attitude in training.’ I immediately thought: ‘Motta doesn’t talk to certain players.’ If you see somebody as one of your players, the next day in training, you try to motivate them.

“To me, it made no sense, but that was Motta’s approach. Perhaps, Emery made him feel important and texted him every day, saying, ‘You are my best player.’ I don’t think Douglas has forgotten how to play.

“When I heard what Motta said, it chilled my blood. Then the whole season was a disaster. I don’t know if he trained poorly; I don’t think so. He had injuries, but there was no real connection with Motta.”
