Bernardeschi to Juventus: what does it mean?
With a attainment of Federico Bernardeschi from Fiorentina, Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has done it transparent that his first-choice personification complement for a new UEFA Champions League deteriorate will be 4-2-3-1.
The Bianconeri’s each pierce this summer seems to have been done to strengthen a complement Allegri adopted mid by final season. Then he had to ask players to adjust to fit in — in a UEFA Champions League final opposite Real Madrid, he played striker Mario Mandžukić as a left winger, centre-back Andrea Barzagli as a right-back and right-back Dani Alves as a winger. This season, it seems, there will be no such demands.
Having won their sixth uninterrupted Scudetto – and a third unbroken domestic double – and reached their second UEFA Champions League final in 3 years, Juventus this summer split association with Alves and Leonardo Bonucci. If we bear in mind that elite formation, those moves make sense.
The Brazilian was arguably too attack-minded to play during right-back, deliberation that Juve already have Alex Sandro on a left – another full-back who loves to pull forward. Allegri had deployed a former Barcelona male as a winger with Andrea Barzagli, 36, stuffing in behind him. This season, that purpose will be filled by new attainment Mattia De Sciglio, who valid his tactical astuteness to Allegri when he coached him during AC Milan.
The preference to concede Bonucci – partial of of Juventus’s famous ‘BBC’ defence, alongside Barzagli and Giorgio Chiellini – to join Milan also has that 4-2-3-1 in mind. No-one leads a three-man counterclaim improved than a 30-year-old, though he is reduction of a widespread force in a behind four.
With arguable centre-backs like Chiellini, Barzagli, Medhi Benatia and Daniele Rugani already in a patrol – and Mattia Caldara sappy on loan during Atalanta – Allegri clearly felt a €40m price for Bonucci was good business, pardon adult a supports to pointer a 23-year-old Bernardeschi.
Like Douglas Costa, who has arrived on loan from Bayern, Bernardeschi has skill, strength in one-on-one situations, bomb gait and a good shot. That should revoke Juve’s faith on Paulo Dybala when it comes to provision openings for Gonzalo HiguaÃn.
“HiguaÃn is a unusual striker and we can measure a lot of goals together,” Douglas Costa said. “I still don’t know what my position here will be, though there will be no problems. This group is done to win. I’ve never won a UEFA Champions League, though we consider we can assistance Juve get on top.”
With a talent in their ranks, Juventus might never have a improved possibility of doing so.
