The rout in Istanbul showed, and it was not the first time this season, the great fragility of Juventus’ defense, especially when Gleison Bremer is not available: once the Brazilian left the field, the Bianconeri collapsed under the blows of the Giallorossi, even if certainly, beyond the defection of the former Torino player, the expulsion of Cabal, who was able to get two yellow cards waved in his face in a few minutes, also weighed heavily.

The team’s defense is still in a state of fragility.

For next season, in which however this Spalletti should still be in the saddle, reinforcements are needed a bit in all departments. And the first to be aware of this is Luciano da Certaldo, who would be very happy to re-embrace one of his defenders in his Roma days. We are of course not talking about Cristian Chivu but Antonio Rudiger, whose adventure at Real Madrid is slowly coming to a close.

“I am very happy to meet Spalletti again. He was very important in my career, I think he brought out the best in me. I was young, I thought I was a very good defender but he taught me a lot. I am very happy to see him again, but I am here to win. It will be a difficult match, Italy will be a tough opponent to face because of their quality and their coach” the defender had said in March 2025, just before the Nations League match between Germany and Italy, then coached by the Tuscan himself.
