Relationship Theory: Will Lucatelli return to Juventus the glory of midfield? | Israel today

2021-09-19T11:41:13.272Z


The Italian arrived at the old lady to restore order to the center of the link, which appears to be the weak link • Tonight, against AC Milan, with Juventus with only one point out of nine, he will have to justify the mountain of expectations placed on his shoulders


Among the many problems that led to the decline of Juventus, to the point of losing the title after nine consecutive championships, the link crisis has recently stood out.

The defense did its thing, the attack with Cristiano Ronaldo found its way to the goal, but it seemed that in the heart of the old lady a hole opened up.

Ronaldo and Paolo Dybala were photographed "dirtying" their team-mates in the first half against Lyon, Maurizio Sari admitted they did not understand the importance of moving the ball, and Pirlo failed to improve the situation. The days of Pogba-Vidal-Pirlo-Marquizio looked like history when Arthur-McNee-Rabio-Bentencourt ran in the middle of the pitch, especially in the big games and the Champions League, which ended twice in a row in the quarter-finals. Manuel Lucatelli, who arrived this summer from Sassuolo, is marked as someone who can restore to Yuba the glory of the field center that has been lost over time.

Tonight's meeting against Milan could be a good start.


Although this is only the fourth round, but the importance of the game end of season.

Beyond the fact that this is a huge battle in which a loss will leave Yuba 11 points away from the summit, for Lokatli it is a meeting between the team he was in and the team he always wanted to be.

He spent ten years in Milan - from the youth teams to two seasons in the senior team - although he claims all this time he even aspired to play for the great rival from Turin.

"As a kid I was always a Juventus fan," he told Calciomercato in an interview this week, later proving it: "It's a tough game, but we're young and we play at home. The goal is to close the gap and win."

When introduced to the group about a month ago, he told of his relationship with the old lady: "My whole family will be fine so the excitement is great. There is a winning mentality here and I am available to help from the beginning."

Unfortunately for Massimiliano Allegri, this did not happen.

Lokatli was rested after winning the Euros and did not make full preparations for the season.

In the first two games he was a partner as a substitute, and only against Napoli (2: 1 loss) and against Malmo (0: 3 victory) did he start in the squad.

Despite the few minutes, the impression left by the 23-year-old was great.

Against the Swedes, he was about 90 percent accurate with dedication, snatched, eased, and mostly made Bentencourt and Rabio play better.

The rival may not be an index, but it was one of the most convincing games of Yuva's link-up, and one that was later compared to Lokatli to Marquisio.

"I do not like comparisons," the past contact responded, "he will write his story here and he will be beautiful."

Alessio Takinardi, who also spent a lot of time in the center of Yuba's pitch, said: "Loktali can be a leader. He is a whole player and it remains for him to prove it in the big games."

So tonight, against the ex, Lokatli gets a really big game, in which he will try to prove that Yuba has a link with the present and the future.
