Juventus might have discovered a brand new lease on life following the arrival of Igor Tudor, however a few gamers have but to show any kind of enchancment, argues Riccardo Trevisani.
The Serie A giants determined to sack Thiago Motta simply eight months right into a managerial stint that was alleged to final for at the least three years. The hierarchy felt the staff was now not responding to the 42-year-old’s concepts based mostly on the proof seen in a few of his previous couple of video games in cost, particularly the woeful defeats to Empoli, Atalanta and Fiorentina.
With Tudor now in cost, the Bianconeri showcased some encouraging indicators, whether or not within the 1-0 win over Genoa at dwelling, or the 1-1 away draw towards the in-form Roma. The staff is now displaying a much bigger need to go ahead, dominate the motion, and win duels.
However whereas Trevisani admits Juventus could be heading in the right direction as a collective, he notes that Tudor has but to enhance the depressing type of Dusan Vlahovic and Teun Koopmeiners.
“We’re seeing a special spirit, however the two massive issues that have been there earlier than have continued: Koopmeiners and Vlahovic,” mentioned the Italian journalist throughout his look on Urgent through JuventusNews24.
“Juve was strong and even a bit ugly earlier than. If there’s one factor that the staff has all the time had earlier than the collapse by the hands of Atalanta and Fiorentina, it was solidity. Then it has all the time been a bit ugly. The staff doesn’t play heavenly soccer.”
Since his arrival, Tudor insisted on restoring Vlahovic as a starter, thus dropping Randal Kolo Muani to the bench.
The Frenchman had loved a sensational begin to his Italian journey following his January transfer from PSG, however he’s been enduring a dip in kind these days.
Therefore, the centre-forward position stays the membership’s largest dilemma this season.
