Igor Tudor trusts Teun Koopmeiners: it’s revival at Juventus

Juventus ready to put the Champions League zone back in the crosshairs, with Igor Tudor who against Lecce is intent on finding a new victory and to revive who in the Bianconeri has so far experienced more difficulties than others: Teun Koopmeiners. And in fact the challenge against the Giallorossi should represent the big chance for the’Dutchman.

Tudor is indeed intent on releasing him from the first minute, preferring him to Kolo Muani and throwing him into the fray along with Yildiz behind a Dusan Vlahovic who is in turn back sure to have a starting jersey. “Koopmeiners can play both up front and in the back, I&#8217ve seen him more upbeat and positive – the Juventus coach said of him in a press conference -He has energy, and we have also worked on the physical aspect”.

An important aspect for a team that is hungry for points but also for certainty, after months of great difficulties that have also made the race for Champions League qualification complicated. “We all work together tactically, but also psychologically. Every Juventus match must’be like a final, and everyone must always give their best. Only in this way can we grow”, Tudor pointed out.

In addition to Koopmeiners, Nico Gonzalez, captain Manuel Locatelli and Khephren Thuram, who is also not at his best, should play in midfield against Lecce. On the left, should the decision be made to keep McKennie at rest, Cambiaso and Weah are ready. As is Kolo Muani, far more than just an alternative to Vlahovic. And Koopmeiners.
