Juventus-Atalanta: Koopmeiners moves, Vlahovic remains seated

The Dutchman called to play a big game against his former team

Great expectations are high for Juventus-Atalanta (8:45 p.m.). Both teams are in the running for a big dream. The Bianconeri, distanced by three points right from the Dea, are looking for a win to hook them in third place in the standings. Spotlight especially on Koopmeiners, the big ex of the match, who, in the last round, è scored against Hellas Verona.

Arrived in Turin, last summer, for a significant sum, that is, about 60 million euros, including bonuses, the Dutch midfielder, up to this point of the season, has largely disappointed with the Bianconeri shirt. Today he will have the chance to redeem himself, trying to make a difference against his former team.

Thiago Motta seems determined to start him in the unseen, at least for this season, right outside role in the trident behind Kolo Muani. Koopmeiners should, in fact, play, along with McKennie and Nico Gonzalez, so as to ensure even more coverage for the team in the non-possession phase of the ball.

As mentioned, Kolo Muani è will still be on the field resulting in the benching, the umpteenth, of Vlahovic. The Serbian è has now become the former PSG striker's backup. Whether and how much he will enter the field remains to be seen. By now Vlahovic’s benches are becoming a constant in this final part of the season.
