Tomorrow the bianconeri will leave for Washington: on June 19th the debut in the Club World Cup. Kolo Muani ahead on Vlahovic for an attack shirt
The debut approaches: tomorrow Juventus will leave for Washington, where the first game of the group against Al Ain will play, after supporting the finishing session on the Greenbrier field. Today the team trained behind closed doors, far from prying eyes, and Igor Tudor took the opportunity to do some tests in view of the match. Arek Milik and Gleison Bremer did only one part with the group, as happened already yesterday, while Manuel Locatelli carried out the whole program with others.
Group location (but in doubt)
–
The blue midfielder, who had hurt the national team immediately after the end of the championship, however remains in strong doubt for the debut. It is easier for the captain to start from the bench rather than play from the beginning, because even if he has recovered he is not yet at the top and in such a long competition the technician prefers not to take risks and preserve it. Basics for Teun Koopmeiners, who struggled a lot first to get rid of the Achilles tendon problem which conditioned his season finale and then to find the athletic condition. Even the Dutch midfield could remain outside the eleven owner, as well as Federico Gatti, who is not yet at the top.
Defense: Idea Rugani
–
Tudor will still have some time to launch the anti Ain training, but the feeling is that we go to the confirmation of the 3-4-2-1, the game system most used by him in the championship. The alternative is the 3-5-2, with Kenan Yildiz, a firm point of the lady, closer to Randal Kolo Muani (ahead of Dusan Vlahovic). In defense, the novelty could be Rugani, returned from the loan to the Ajax and highly appreciated by the Croatian: the central is in ballot with Nicolò Savona to complete the department with Lloyd Kelly and Pierre Kalulu.
Totem Thuram
–
In the middle the certainty is Khephren Thuram, one of Tudor’s own owner, with Weston McKennie instead of Locatelli. On the bands Nico Gonzalez and Timothy Weah play the place on the right while Andrea Cambiaso will move on the left. On the trocar there may also be space for Francisco Conceiçao together with Yildiz.
Eye in Laba
–
At Ain-Juventus it is a unicum in the history of football: the two teams had never challenged each other before and it is also the first time between a team of the Arab Emirates and an Italian in the Fifa World Cup. Eye to Kodjo Laba, top scorer of the UAE PRO League with 20 goals (plus 4 assists). His specialty? The header: 8 goals made like this, is the player who made the most in the 3 main Gulf championships.
