Thiago Motta will have 21 players for 10 movement positions. The era of the emergency seems really over
Two players by role. And it’s not a way of saying. Juve who leaves the January market, hitches relating to accidents permitting, is a team with a completely transformed face compared to what, in November, found himself facing the trips to Milan and Birmingham with just 15 movement players. And who should no longer see footballers forced to adapt to roles not their roles, as happened lately at Weah and McKennie, even arrived to hold 4 different positions in the season.
Juve, the analysis of the squad

Meanwhile, only numerically, the balance between exits (3: Danilo, Arthur and beans) and grafts (4: Alberto Costa, Renato Veiga, Kolo Muani and Lloyd Kelly) gives Thiago Motta an additional effective to count on. But above all, the three who left the Continassa were players out of pink (Arthur) or on the margins of the project, while at least two of the new arrivals (Kolo Muani and one between Kelly and Veiga) are destined to carve out a role as a starter from here to end of the season. So, here is that the Juventus coach now has 21 movement players for 10 roles.
Juventus’s 2024-25 rose

In detail, as defensive exteriors here is Savona, Alberto Costa, Cambiaso and Rouhi. Perhaps this is the a little more uncovered department, given that three out of four are practically at the first, true season as professionals. As defense plants, net of Kalulu’s Aquunio, there are four players (the French, Gatti, Veiga and Kelly) for two places. In the middle of the field, five (plus the Jolly Adzic) for three places: Locatelli, Thuram, Koopmeiners, Douglas Luiz and McKennie. This is the sector with the most counted men, but is balanced by the ductility of the interpreters and by the battery of the offensive exteriors, where there are five men for two positions: Nico Gonzalez, Conceiçao, Weah, Yildiz and MBANGULA. Of which, at least a couple, if necessary, they can also make the midfielders. Finally, evident, the upgrade in the center forward department: from Vlahovic alone we moved on to the Serbian alternative of Kolo Muani. On balance there are exactly two players (plus one) by role. If Thiago Motta now will choose to deploy some footballer out of position, it will be just by choice and no longer out of necessity. The era of the emergency in the Juve house seems really over.
