No winter blow of the bianconeri had ever been so protagonist and with such a positive influence on the performance of the team
At the center of everything, now, there is Randal Kolo Muani. The French striker who arrived at Juventus in January did not ask the Bianconeri’s setting times and within a couple of weeks he has already burned the stages. The next is Como, where tomorrow evening the lady will be called to give continuity to Sunday’s internal victory, at lunchtime against Empoli. In a more enlarged sense, however, the center forward of the French national team is not only at the center of the attacking department of Thiago Motta for the next championship match, but also at the center of the Juve project more generally. The recent facts say that Kolo Muani has undergone Dusan Vlahovic as the title of the Bianconeri and – so – the delicate fate of the team until the end of the season resting a lot on its large shoulders.

Until the boat goes, let it go. Kolo Muani, however, seems more like a motorboat and since he is in the black and white waters he has chosen to dart at high speed in the waves, not to float. For this reason Motta knows well that it is better not to interrupt his continuity, which has already made him the striker in the history of Juventus who has had the best impact among all those taken in the winter transfer market session. Three goals in the first two official games had never scored them, despite the fact that the precedents are nourished by excellent attackers. Alessandro Matri in 2011 stopped two, while Vlahovic himself in 2022 had made one with the addition of a caused auto. An assist for Marco Borriello in 2012 and first also for Juan Esnaider in 1999, while no one had been recorded in the first two appearances for Pablo Daniel Osvaldo in 2014, Nicolas Anelka in 2013, Luca Toni in 2011, Michele Paolucci in 2010 and Thierry Henry in 1999. And if he ever managed to repeat himself in Como, Kolo Muani would imitate the incredible impact of Krysztof Piatek in Genoa in 2018: only he in the last thirty years of Serie A has completed the company to present himself to the Italian championship with Four signatures in the first three games.
overtaking

The facts, it was said. Since Randal was registered, Motta took him from the first minute on two occasions out of two: in Naples, where he made a goal to his debut, and precisely at the Allianz Stadium against Empoli, complete with a double. On the contrary, Vlahovic has never yet been the owner in Serie A in 2025 – the last time on 29 December 2024 in Turin against Fiorentina – and widening the horizon to other competitions he dodged the bench only since he recovered from the discomfort muscle that has undermined its beginning of January. He started from the initial whistle only with Benfica, however without shining. Beyond the splendid goal scored at Empoli who knows a lot of reaction and promises well for the future, it is undeniable that Kolo Muani is the most fit between the two, at this moment: Motta always explains that he initially deploys who Show better signals in training, so Kolo Muani is showing off. To this rule, however, is added the fact that the Frenchman has more functional characteristics than the Serbian for the game that the coach likes and therefore the overtaking in the hierarchies has served. Randal will be the owner tomorrow evening in Como and nothing suggests a change for the match of four days later, the first leg of the Champions League playoffs against PSV Eindhoven scheduled for next Tuesday.
The new horizon
–
There are personal primates to rewrite, of course, but in Motta it is concerned above all to find in Kolo Muani the man around whom to rotate the offensive phase of his team. The objective technical limits of Vlahovic, more than his propensity for the game in the area, hindered his football feeling with the Italian-Brazilian coach and now it’s up to the Frenchman to fill the emptiness of power in the last quarter of the field. If on the one hand Juventus sometimes struggles to supply their center forward, on the other the amazing Sprint of Kolo Muani after the starter’s gunshot show shows that his goal of the goal is managing to transform the supplies of the golden companions. So far Randal has been hungry, he hit the first shot in Naples and with the only two conclusions in the mirror in Turin and has already put himself the other strikers behind him who in the last thirty years have reinforced the lady in mid -season. Now, already from Como, there is to expand the horizon on the medium term, on the coming months. Meanwhile, that million loan, in the meantime, already seems very well spent.
