Juventus, big comebacks against Roma: Luciano Spalletti’s anticipations

Juventus awaiting the challenge with eternal rival Roma, but regaining two very important pawns long absent. They are Gleison Bremer and Arkadiusz Milik, both of whom will be available for the Bianconeri in the away match at the Olimpico against Gian Piero Gasperini’s team. A coach whom Luciano Spalletti praised at length in a press conference in which he framed his team’s prospects with regard to the responses it is getting on the pitch and also in projection to the reopening of the market that will take place in January. And that could therefore revolutionize the team in a matter of a handful of weeks.

“Bremer will be there in Rome, precisely in the sense that he will play the game – Spalletti anticipated -. In him I place great trust, from a defensive point of view he is very strong. Instead, we will have to make evaluations on Rugani and Cabal, as both are struggling with muscle strains. Milik, who I found to be like a happy child, will also be among the summoned players. He will finally have the chance to play as he has always wanted, he is a boy of great enthusiasm and perfectly aware of his role. He has great physical and also technical characteristics, and he will be part of the Juventus group”.

A Juventus team that, under his guidance, according to Spalletti must have very specific characteristics: “Looking good depends on what attracts sportsmen. Compared to a beautiful showcase, it is better to have clothes that are wrinkled but give you what you need. So for me it’s good to be intense, to run a lot, to predict game situations. This is talent, even if it is not recognized as such. We can still grow, we’ll see if in high-level contexts like against Roma we can do that. And players like Yildiz or McKennie have to adapt to not having an established role, because to fill games like this you need strength, high-level play and many other things”.

Capitol Gasperini. “He has always intrigued me, and he is one of the many Serie A coaches with whom I feel good – admitted Spalletti -. From someone like him there&#8217s always something to learn, he has become a kind of brand, a factory model. By now a little bit’ everyone works like him, so much so that you will have often heard that they do like Atalanta. Or, now, like Roma. But he has been working this way since the beginning, when he was at Crotone. And all his players play like him, Palladino, Juric, Bocchetti, Modesto”.

“I think Gasperini is one of those coaches who can invent a way of playing that so many then refer to. Like Sacchi, who created new situations” added Spalletti. Who explained how his Juventus will try to contain the Grugliasco coach“s Roma: “You have to go beyond the one-on-one duel. If you don”t do that, you get inside their game and it”s impossible to do well”.
