Juve, from Gatti to Bremer, who made the leap this year

Who are the footballers who had no experience in a top club last summer and have now become top players. For Vlahovic first full season at Juve on and off, several young people have canceled their identity cards

Last summer they were great unknowns. In the face of those who entered a big club for the first time, or those who even found themselves in their first experience in the top flight, it was legitimate to have some doubts and let that veil of perplexity shine through. Allegri has always spoken of the pressures on Juventus with extreme clarity: however, the doubts have slowly vanished and now many players, who seemed to be second lines, have become potential starters with projection from senators within the group.

THE FIRST TIMES

Last summer Bremer wanted to join a top club, but his regular performance was not at all obvious, although he had been indicated in previous years as the best defender in Serie A. The Brazilian, after an initial moment of confusion , he was at his best in the black and white reality, transmitting solidity to the entire back department. In the three behind Gatti also emerged, whom Juventus had drawn in January last year in the cadetteria from Frosinone. His first games in Serie A were complicated, but the player worked hard and in the long run he began to earn Allegri’s trust with some continuity.

IN PERSPECTIVE

Few would have bet on the leap in quality that Locatelli made this year, reacting with work to the arrival of other top players last summer in his role. The midfielder could feel the pinch, but instead he showed great mental strength: in the Juventus of the future – and Allegri had said this in unsuspecting times, it must be recognized – he could be a captain. For now he is a very successful player and not only him among the Italians: since the end of October Fagioli has also returned to the field with a certain regularity, to the point of becoming a reference like Miretti, who is younger but with many more years of militancy in the Juventus club in unlike many other locker room mates.

THE SURPRISES

The Rabiot of past years was not that of this year, which increases the regret of the Juventus fans due to the expiry of the contract in June: and not only for the performance on the pitch but also for the leadership he expressed in the most delicate moments of the match. season. The positive impact that Milik had was also not obvious: a mature footballer, yes, but in a short time he has become a point of reference for the whole group, even if the club will still have to decide whether to keep him or not. Waiting for a reaction from Chiesa and Vlahovic: even from them, in this season finale, it is reasonable to expect a qualitative leap in terms of character, in the footsteps of Bonucci and Danilo.
