First signs of training and game development that they have partially sketched, following the technician’s words in recent weeks, the path this new Juve wants to take waiting for the answers that the transfer market must also give.
OPTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT – Three-man defense with the ball between your feet, climb to form a four-way line when it comes to closing in on your opponents. This was the point Juventus yesterday, match with Danilo blocked behind with Bonucci and Chiellini with the width of the field covered on the outside by Square me Alex Sandro.

The two central midfielders were often the ones who set both sides in motion. Rabiot me McKennie and, especially the American, showed passing cleanliness even in field changes in addition to the aggressiveness useful to quickly regain possession. And then the front trio with Ramsey me Kulusevski behind a more centralized Ronaldo. Close exchanges between CR7 and former Parma, as on the occasion of the first goal, and positioning by Ramsey who hints at what might be, as the season progresses, the place occupied by Kulusevski. Only the Swede showed the gifts of support for that the bianconeri missed so much last season. Swirl of changes in the interval with a structured recovery in a 3-4-3 with less interchangeability between the protagonists. Demiral, Rugani and De Sciglio blocked back with Portanova (squeeze for him) to the side in the middle of the field and Pilgrims in the other one. The ex of Cagliari was very active in that position can create important spaces throughout the season thanks to his offensive verve.

Diktat clear and evident need to start work as soon as possible, also considering the absence due to injury of Paulo Dybala, with a advance role and shape the rest of the team accordingly. There is time, Pirlo says, but he doesn’t really make it clear. Yesterday was a friendly, next Sunday comes Sampdoria at Allianz Stadium and the race will officially begin for the 10th consecutive Scudetto.
