Vlahovic returns, but what will happen to David? Spalletti’s plan for the attack

Vlahovic’s return to the field will not take away space for David. Spalletti’s idea is to bring the two together and build the main road to access the next Champions League on this new connection. The Serbian is eager and can’t wait to increase his playing time, the Canadian has so far withstood the pressure of the attack showing limits: with the entry of a pure 9, the quality of the former Lille player can be more effective in finishing and multiply the chances of scoring.

David works a lot for the team by making an impact between the lines: ask Yildiz and Conceiçao to understand how useful the Canadian’s balls have been in recent months to see the goal more closely. However, Juve were not always good at finishing: and in that low tendency to know how to turn dangerous opportunities into goals, David himself seemed to be the lightest of all the attackers. This is why Spalletti would have wanted another number 9 in January and why Vlahovic’s return from injury, who in the meantime has increased his pace to become available again, can give a better direction to the scoring percentages.

In Spalletti’s 4-2-3-1, David would act as a sub forward: behind Vlahovic and without stepping on Yildiz’s toes, a bit like a second ten in support, together with one of McKennie and Conceiçao on the right. The attack could count on greater firepower, causing the parameters of danger, occupation of the last part of the pitch, quality of play and re-aggression with McKennie or unpredictability with Conceiçao to skyrocket. Furthermore, the possibility of drawing on other resources, from Zhegrova to Adzic via Boga, provides a more reassuring picture in the race for fourth place. Work in progress at Continassa.
