Juventus, Spalletti ready to surprise: news expected with'Udinese
It is back on the field, this time for Italian Cup commitments. Juventus hosts, at the Stadium, Udinese’Udinese. A pass to the quarterfinals is up for grabs. Fresh from two consecutive successes, the Bianconeri aim to continue in the good moment, also because the Coppa Italia represents a great opportunity for the Old Lady to take home a trophy in a season that, at the moment, sees her far from the Scudetto fight and certainly not among the favorites in the Champions League.
The Bianconeri will be back on the field, this time at the Stadium.
Technician Spalletti is still digesting the news of Vlahovic’s long stop. The Serbian striker, who was injured in the league match with Cagliari, will be in the pits for a long time. As a result, the Bianconeri’s attack will be revolutionized. Against the Friulians, the trident should be formed by Conceiçao, Openda and David. The latter two, who arrived during the last summer, unlocked against Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League, but they are looking for more good performances to convince the Bianconeri’s environment that they can be useful, especially now that Vlahovic is in the box. Barring any surprises, Yildiz should, instead, start from the bench.
In the 3-4-2-1 that Spalletti is expected to field, watch out for other changes as well. In the three-man defense there will be room for Gatti, Kelly and Cabal with Kalulu finally resting. Koopmeiners, always used in the defensive three, could be employed in midfield this time along with Miretti (praised by Spalletti), with Kostic and Cambiaso on the flanks. In short, a revolutionized Juventus also to figure out who to bet on in the upcoming matches. The goal is to overcome Udinese, so as to prepare for the challenges with Napoli, Pafos, Bologna and Roma with enthusiasm in high gear. Spalletti expects someone to take more responsibility, to show that they are “from Juventus.”
