The long-awaited opportunity has arrived. Edon Zhegrova, as predicted by Luciano Spalletti on the eve of the Champions League match against Pafos, will be in the Bianconeri starting eleven. For the Kosovar the great chance to show his talent and confirm how, one of his level, can come in very handy for Juventus.

A class of 1999, Edon Zhegrova has crystal clear talent. This has been noticed in the few flashes of matches he has played so far. She can jump over the man and is not afraid to make the most difficult play. Exactly what the Old Lady needs to shift gears. The problem is only related to physical condition. Luciano Spalletti has not hidden the fact that Edon Zhegrova himself is not in top condition. He has been dealing with pubalgia for some time, a problem that does not allow him to do what he would like with continuity.

And yet, against Pafos, he will be on the field from the start. The last time it happened to him was about a year ago when, still, he was playing in the ranks of Lille. The’wait is over. Great satisfaction among the Juventus people who, for some time, have been pushing to see the 25-year-old Kosovar on the field. Luciano Spalletti has already made it known that when he runs out of energy to spend, he will replace him. The hope is that, throughout his time on the field, Edon Zhegrova will be able to help Juventus play at a high level. Considered, for a long time, a mystery object, this time he will have a chance to silence the critics and prove to everyone that, as pure talent, there are few players at his level. Who knows, he might even get his first goal in bianconero. It should be remembered that, in his three and a half years at Lille, he scored an impressive 26.
