Andrea Pirlo made some small but significant changes to his line-up in the impressive win over Barcelona at the Camp Nou, and the Bianconeri manager could be ready to confirm the new line-up for upcoming matches.
For the first time, the Juventus coach went from his 3-4-1-2 formation to a more balanced 3-5-2, as Aaron Ramsey was used to playing along the same lines as Weston McKennie, with Arthur Melo in the middle. as a playmaker.
The new formation helped Juventus control the midfield and avoid dangerous counterattacks, as in the matches against Benevento and Torino, but this change could be a problem for Dejan Kulusevski, since it will not be easy for Pirlo to find him a place at 3- 5-2.
Kulusevski performed well when he played as a forward in the first games of the season, but in this position he will most likely become the backing for Álvaro Morata and Cristiano Ronaldo, and there is also Paulo Dybala who is struggling to find a place in Pirlo’s lineup, so it won’t be easy for him to appear in many games.
The former Parma player could adapt and play as a winger, but on the right it is almost impossible to rule out Juan Cuadrado from the starting eleven, and on the left (it is not his favorite position) he would be in competition with Federico. Chiesa, Alex Sandro and Federico Bernardeschi.
Kulusevski’s talent must not be wasted, the Swedish wonder boy represents the future of Juventus, but if Pirlo continues with the new formation, Dejan will have to learn to play as a central midfielder, otherwise he risks being sent to the bank frequently.
