Juventus-Stuttgart, Thiago Motta waits for his number 10
To date, the 19-year-old Turk has only scored against PSV
Juventus è on the hunt for a hat trick. Today (kickoff at 9 p.m.), at the Allianz Stadium è the challenge with Stuttgart is scheduled. After winning the first two matches, the Bianconeri are aiming for a third success in a row, so as to keep themselves at the top of the standings of the new Champions League.
As always, Thiago Motta could surprise in the starting lineup. There is talk of a possible inclusion of Danilo in the defense. Douglas Luiz should again have a starting jersey (as against Lazio) while, in attack, there is room for Conçeicao, out with the biancocelesti due to disqualification and ready to contribute on the flank.
However, the spotlight will be mainly on Yildiz. The 19-year-old Turkish è called for a significant performance to forget the last few less-than-stellar outings. The Juventus 10 is asked to be more incisive in front of goal. To date, Yildiz has scored only one (splendid) goal against PSV.
Thiago Motta, in order to put him in the best possible conditions to show his undoubted qualities, could also think of a module that would have Yildiz in a more central position. As a wide outside player he seems to struggle more. Perhaps, by moving him to the center, he could regain his flair and make his No. 10 jersey shine with magic again.
