Always in position, never in obvious difficulty, winning in duels: the Brazilian returned to lead the Juventus defense against Roma in a great way
If two clues prove it, the solidity of Juve’s defense depends on Gleison Bremer. The Brazilian started after the stretch in Bologna and the long stop due to the meniscus injury: against Dybala, an inconvenient customer of the evening, he was almost flawless for 60 minutes. Always in position, never in obvious difficulty, winning in duels except in one circumstance in the first half: the defender seemed to be the real mid-season acquisition for Spalletti, who would like to entrust him with the keys to the defense for the entire match from next season (in Pisa, in a week).

“I had this bad injury, but I came back well – said Bremer at the end of the match to the microphones of Sky -. Today I wasn’t able to play it all, but it was expected.” Increasing the playing time is therefore the next objective, but the first test on the pitch for more than a half was passed with flying colours. “We wanted to win, that’s what counts”, the idea of the Brazilian, who then also provided his description of the coach he found at the helm upon returning from the stoppage: “Spalletti is a demanding coach, but it’s right for him to be like this and it shows on the pitch”. We’ll have to check in the next matches whether the coach wants to support Koopmeiners to Bremer or if the Brazilian’s return will return the Dutchman to the midfield.
