The brace in Parma projects him to the top of international football: since the 2019-20 season the defender has scored 15 headed goals, in the main European leagues he is the one who has scored the most, having also separated van Dijk and Magalhaes (on 14).
Wall, leader and also goalscorer. With the brace against Parma, Gleison Bremer has reached 11 goals with the Juventus shirt, 21 since playing in Serie A. There’s more: since the 2019-20 season the defender has scored 15 headed goals, in the main European leagues he is the one who has scored the most, having also beaten van Dijk and Magalhaes (both on 14). And if “numbers are to be kept away”, as Spalletti says, it is right to give space to emotions. “It’s a wonderful feeling to score a goal – admitted the centre-back -, especially for me who was out of action for a year. It was difficult to get back on track even though I’m better now, my leg is better. It was difficult to respond after the own goal, but then we won”.

Bremer’s return to the field has changed Juve, giving greater solidity and security. Even if the person directly involved bounces off the compliments at least in part and links the team’s growth to Spalletti’s care: “He’s strong, you can see from how he took the team to how we play now, the team has changed totally – said the coach’s defender -. Even when we win he always tries to tell us to stay on track. The team is doing well but we’re still missing something and he always tells us so”. And again: “Spalletti is back with his mentality and you can see that the team is performing well.” In short, Bremer must also be added to the list of Juventus players who have been dazzled by the new coach, but the Brazilian’s return to high levels – an aspect that cannot be taken for granted – has above all shifted the priorities in the repair market. At a certain point it was thought that Juve needed to sign another defender during the current season, but now the defensive department is the one that seems to be doing better: much of the credit goes to Bremer and his extraordinary performance.
