It is not always necessary to buy other players to improve: on the field there is a different and more proactive team. Max seeks aggression and the new graft in his staff is bringing a new mindset in the development of the black and white game
Juventus hasn't changed much. The coach is the same, the squad has not been turned upside down, if anything a little thinned out and there is the possibility, under certain conditions, of deploying an initial lineup with eleven players who were there last season. Yet everyone is talking about 'new Juventus'. Rightly so.
Because sometimes you don't have to change footballers to change a team. And Juventus, apart from the players, has changed everything or almost. meanwhile there is a new company that, since July, has a new sporting director: Cristiano Giuntoli is the 'real market blow of this summer', said John Elkann also and above all because, beyond the management of transfer market operations, the added value of the manager who comes from Naples is precisely the deep knowledge of the Giuntoli will be of great help to Massimiliano Allegri and will allow him to have a more direct and constructive relationship between the company and coach, as well as between coach and team, if problems or misunderstandings arise. And this is an important novelty. As well as the arrival of Francesco Magnanelli in the staff of Allegri, because since the American tour it has become clear how the new graft is bringing a new mentality to the development of the black and white game. Those who have seen, in the US friendly against Milan and Real Madrid, a more proactive Juventus, with a much higher pressing, with a decidedly more offensive attitude, have seen the fruit of Magnanelli's work and the address that Max himself wanted to give to the team.
Juve, here's the innovation
The experience of the last two seasons, in which Juventus has never shone for the game proposal and, above all, has always struggled to express fictitious ideas in the offensive phase, has suggested to the Bianconeri coach a steering. Even the most severe of Allegri's detractors must admit that he is not a fundamentalist or dogmatic coach, but a technician always ready to question his ideas if this leads to results. It's not a matter of good game or defensiveness, Allegri wants to win and the road to success is never just one. In short, if the summer indications are reliable, you must expect a new Juventus in the game and in tactical habits: no longer low defense, but a higher and more intense aggression. If that were the case, it would be a more significant revolution than a change of three or four fundamental pawns in the formation. Another key novelty in the new Juventus is its agenda. It is true, both Allegri and the club would have gladly taken part in the Champions League (whose absence brings a chasm of 90 million in the company's budget), but having only two commitments means being many weeks free of commitments, especially in the first three months of the season, allowing players a more rational planning of work and recovery from fatigue. The effect of this condition will result in fewer injuries and the possibility, for Allegri, to better prepare the games, to devote more time to tactics without the need to give hasty indications, sometimes right next to the match. At the beginning of the nine-off cycle, Antonio Conte took advantage of a season without European cups to give an imprint to the team and to defeat Allegri's Milan, who were engaged in the Champions League until the quarterfinals.
