Inter are the strongest of the realm in Italy (Tudor Dixit) and having put it to the carpet without fully doing what you were prepared for you can open the doors of Europe with a more noble spirit. Thus starts the attack on the Champions League of a Juve who does not hide and who for the first against Borussia Dortmund thinks of something pyrotechnic, at least in the intentions. Everything revolves around the game of the nine, three cards in the hands of the Juventus coach to mix and refrain until he finds the magic formula: Vlahovic took on Saturday afternoon, David is a candidate to take the cup night, Open can represent the response to a more offensive and therefore more European kick and push Koopmeiners to the margins. And everything revolves around the “tongue” of a boy, Kenan Yildiz, able to lightly cross the moments that could take a little breath away from him: the parable, at the intersection, against PSV Eindhoven was his, true, business card in the Europe of the greats.

twelve months later

A year ago, these days, there was another climate, another philosophy, other expectations, soon betrayed: on the field, to the destination, it was necessary to arrive with the group relationship, 3D movements, iridescent roles in accordance with Thiago’s commandments. A year later, Manuel Locatelli, Juventus captain, talks about his coach as of those who “know how to dialogue with everyone and with everyone in a profitable way”. Here we go again and, a few hours after the first in the second edition of the new Champions League, Tudor does not throw the ball in the stands. “In Europe there are more spaces, in Italy tacticism makes it more difficult to try to have an unscrupulous attitude: we could change something …”, so with a Borussia view. That something brings us back to the game of the nine: who instead of Conceiçao with one and a half foot outside the dispute? Of Vlahovic, Tudor wanted to take advantage of the moment: from here, the green light to the Serbian in the face to face with Inter. By David, the Croatian technician wants to exploit, already tonight, the particular cup feeling: the Canadian striker has made 10 goals in 18 appearances in Lilla with illustrious victims such as Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid (twice), Juve herself, Liverpool and the opponents on duty of the Dortmund. Of Opennda, the coach of Split can capitalize on the adrenaline, one against one, the shot in progression, perhaps delivering him an area of ​​the Stadium most profitable to him to create discontent in the heart of German defense. And then, Kenan: Tudor put it where he can take aim, where he can give the last touch, where he can weave his canvas. And Kenan smiles, marks, grows: raised in Bayern Munich, for him the Dortmund Giallonero has the meaning of the “Clasico”. And beyond the “Clasico” there is Del Piero, that shot from special effects to imitate.

great abundance

David, Opennda, Vlahovic and Yildiz: the great abundance, in scattered order, puts Juve in the wake of the most accredited to the Champions League dance. The nine know what we are talking about. Said of the 10 centers in the most beautiful Cup of the Canadian, Opennda touched 5 out of 25 appearances, Dusan 6 in 16: bulky numbers. A year later, Juve is serious and right and a little more “old”: not much, but bigger than a team that has fallen into the spotlight up to the playoffs last February five times with an average age of just over 24 years old. More “old” means more experienced to navigate when the wind is raised as in Eindhoven, night of the inside or outside, night of the output at the extra time in the passage that he was offering the round of 16. “This cup has often given surprises. Or, better, every year there is someone who amazes: we have the enthusiasm that serves and a big group”, the word of captain. Serious, right, solid and possible surprise: having pushed Inter outside the ring to the last lunge is worth all this. The attack on Europe can start.
