Juventus Coach Looking to Pinpoint the Right Tactics

Massimiliano Allegri will welcome back multiple pieces after the break. He’s considering a permanent return of the three-man defense to make them fit better. Juventus have leaned on a few different tactics in the first portion of the season.

Angel Di Maria will miss the next two Serie A games because of a suspension. On the other hand, those who skipped the most recent matches due to injuries will be available against Bologna. The only question mark is Fabio Miretti, who sprained his ankle with Italy U21.

As per TuttoSport, the coach is plotting to return to his trusted 3-5-2. He has utilized it a couple of times so far. Though, no scheme has had much continuity, also because of physical problems. The Bianconeri have deployed five different formations. Neither has alleviated their issues on its own.

The gaffer has realized that it’s better for Dusan Vlahovic to have a partner close by, and Arkadiusz Milik has been one of the best performers. In addition, Leonardo Bonucci is much more comfortable in a back-three, as it transpired in the recent Italy matches. They have used the other defensive system more frequently thus far. The boss could tweak it to a 3-4-1-2 when Di Maria is at his disposal. He’s also pondering deploying Miretti as a no.10.

Our Take on the Juventus Tactics

It’s pretty clear that they should use a three-man defense to get the best out of Bonucci. However, the problem is that they don’t have many center-backs and would have to resort to makeshift solutions when somebody is missing. The scheme would suit Filip Kostic and Juan Cuadrado too. They aren’t apt for the trident they have often utilized, and that has routinely left Vlahovic stranded.
