Winning was the only thing that counted and the victory against Genoa came. But it is the only good news on the day of the debut of the Croatian technician
Juventus celebrates the debut of Igor Tudor On the black and white bench in the only useful way: winning. The three points torn from Genoa are the best news to close the week of the exemption of Thiago Mottareflections on the aborted project after only nine months and on the rescue guaranteed by John Elkann (present at the Stadium) in the form of a 15 million euro check to guarantee full operational capacity for its managers in June. Then we will see. He won Juventus and was the only thing that counted, even more so after seeing Bologna take the fifth victory in a row in Venice, consolidating the candidacy for a place in the next Champions League, vital for the Juventus accounts.
It is symbolically significant that the first signature of the Tudor era was of Kenan Yildizone of the condemned to the Purgatory of the field-panchine alternation by the previous coach. His the starting point that split the game in two, assisted by a back of Vlahovic’s back and an assist from Tudor himself in the Mourinho version: he recovered a ball released and obliged his to speed up the restart finding the defense of Genoa discovered. The emotional shock that Juventus needed and that the Croatian technician made with full hands by experiencing the race constantly alongside his own, not only metaphorically given the constant presence outside the area destined. Tudor to Inzaghi, and is a compliment.
His first in black and white was marked by some clear and evident choices. Meanwhile, the three -way defense, launched immediately despite the only two workouts made with the group. Then the ownership of Dusan Vlahovichowever, the protagonist of a more shadow performance than lights, and the return of Yildiz to his natural role. It was not a beautiful Juventus, not overall and not even many interpreters: still rejected Koopmeinersput under tip, in difficulty Nico Gonzalez lined up in full band and like him too Kelly Which was Kelly himself also seen with Thiago Motta.
There has been great enthusiasm and application, but also as much confusion and difficulty in applying unknown movements and football lines so far. The squad was not built to play with all -sighted outsiders, those who are there have more offensive features, or that cannot be done without Weah who has the most legs than others but who risks bending those with greater talent and cost incurred to bring them to Turin.
In general, it was a Juventus who played his first time taking sodus: pragmatic and intense when he was able, careful in defense when Genoa grew. There is a significant figure that photographs the change of habits and is 47% of the first half ball possession (49% final) without granting anything to the horizontality of the game which was one of the Mottiani trade brands. Tudor’s phrase was shot on social media for a week in which he guaranteed to prefer a 4-3 to 1-0: lies. He first knew he could not start with a result other than the victory and behaved accordingly. The nice football, if there is a way and desire, will come.
