Andrea Barzagli blesses the new Juventus, Igor Tudor and Kenan Yildiz

Andrea Barzagli is not surprised by Juventus’ good moment, starring at the World Cup: “I sensed great enthusiasm within the team and a coach skilled at motivating the players. The result is that of the field: two matches approached in the right way, brilliant, serious and of quality. This is a straightforward Juventus that wants to attack. Net of the opponents, the Bianconeri have shown a great mentality. If with Al Ain the gap was obvious, do not think it was obvious to beat Wydad 4-1 in that heat”.

“I think the first part of the U.S. training camp, the one held in West Virginia, may not have blown the players away location-wise, but it certainly allowed Tudor to work a lot and in a good climate. It is no coincidence that Juventus is conveying the feeling of being fresher and brighter than at the end of the season. The club’s decision to renew Tudor’s contract also had an impact. The players seem happy with his confirmation and now want to show him they deserve the job” he added to Gazzetta dello Sport.

Chapter Yildiz: “Kenan has started very well, he possesses extraordinary shots and scores goals as a non-ordinary player. He is young and should not be loaded with too much pressure, but I must say that everyone speaks very well of him to me. In today’s world, even more than in my time, having the right head makes all the difference for a talent. Yildiz has Del Piero-like moves and shots, a repertoire of uncommon quality. But we are still talking about a 20-year-old: let”s go easy on the heavy comparisons, especially for Kenan”s sake.

Closing on Tudor: “Igor has a strong mentality, daughter of his past as a player: you either have that or you don&#8217t. He is a convinced, straightforward guy and this the players perceive and appreciate. From this point of view Tudor is very much like Conte“
