Dreaming of Pogba: Thuram, the keys to Juve and the Motta construction site

The Frenchman has recently arrived, but he has immediately fitted into the new system of the Juventus coach: a regular starter, a task as difficult as it is fascinating for him

Five days after his league debut (in the late game on Monday, 8:45 p.m., against Como at the Stadium), Thiago Motta returns to Juventus, after 48 hours of rest, to fine-tune the game mechanisms and overcome the gaps that the summer friendlies have highlighted within a group that is not yet complete and that, given the first additions and changes to the system, needs to find the right understandings. In a climate of "work in progress", the Bianconero who appears to be in the best shape both physically and tactically is Khephren Thuram : the son of art, in Turin for a month, seems to have perfectly adapted to the dictates of the Italian-Brazilian coach, even if he had to resort to a plan B.


Thuram and the Motta plan

Motta's plans were in fact different and for Thuram he had carved out a role as a midfielder paired with Douglas Luiz in the 4-2-3-1 which is a bit of a trademark of the coach, instead since Teun Koopmeiners , the crowbar for central incursions with the ball at his feet in the heart of the opponent's midfield, has not yet arrived, and the alternatives (from Miretti to Adzic ) are in the infirmary, Juventus has settled into a 4-1-4-1 with the French midfielder positioned in front of the defence. A role in which, with the passing of the days and training sessions, Thuram is gradually gaining confidence: after all, he has never made a secret of the fact that his job is to provide balance. "I am the one who has to create a bridge between the defence and the attack and I am certainly the one who has to give balance and create support for the team, recovering many balls" were  his words at the time of the presentation.


Thuram as the best Pogba?

In the last test, in Sweden against Atletico Madrid, despite the defeat Thuram appeared to be growing, lucid in recovering a quantity of balls, to the point that many saw in him the Pogba of the best times , the fulcrum of the Juventus game as a link between the 4 of the defense and the 4 of the midfield, more aggressive and enterprising than in previous outings, also capable of a verticalization for Vlahovic that the Serbian was unable to exploit. Then, it is obvious, that there is still ample room for improvement, that he must perfect the defensive phase, but the signs are encouraging in view of the debut in the championship.

Juve-Como towards a sold out

On Monday night the eyes of the Stadium, which is heading towards a sell-out (there are very few tickets left), will be focused on him because he will have to give Juventus a jolt: the opponent, the newly promoted Como, is not impossible, all the more reason to start the season with a victory would give enthusiasm and confidence to a group still under construction. If in defense the ballot between Danilo , among the last to return from vacation and not yet in shape, and Cabal to complete the back four composed of Cambiaso , Bremer and Gatti , holds up, in the other roles there should be no news, also because Thiago Motta has very few men: Vlahovic as the only striker (Milik should return to the team after recovering from injury and surgery) with Weah , Locatelli , Douglas Luiz and Yildiz in midfield and Di Gregorio in goal.
