Tudor admits the weather in the USA is a concern but won’t complain

 

 

Juventus are currently playing and training under some of the most challenging weather conditions the team has encountered in recent years during their participation in the Club World Cup in the United States. Despite the intense heat, the Bianconeri remain focused on their mission to secure the title and conclude the summer of 2025 on a high note. ............

 

The conditions in the United States have been far from ideal, with sweltering temperatures affecting both training and match play. Nevertheless, Juventus have shown strong intent, adapting well and securing positive results in their first two group stage fixtures. These performances are a testament to the team’s focus and determination, even if the climate has presented a notable obstacle.

 

While the weather has posed difficulties, Juventus are not alone in facing such challenges. All participating teams have had to contend with the same environment, and Tudor has made it clear that this is no reason to lose focus or lower expectations. He commented:

 

“Playing at these temperatures is not the best, but it is an issue that concerns all the participating teams, so it has to be accepted.” ............

 

Though the heat has tested the players’ physical limits, the team have continued to push forward, with Tudor ensuring that they maintain a professional mindset. The Croatian manager is keen to see his players rise above the discomfort and continue performing at the highest level. ............

Igor Tudor must be fully involved in the signing of players at Juventus

 

 

Igor Tudor is determined to bring silverware to Juventus by next summer, especially after missing out on the Club World Cup trophy. His side began the tournament with promise, prompting fans to dream of a possible title. However, those hopes were ultimately dashed as the club fell short of lifting the trophy.

 

Juventus now turn their attention to the transfer market, aiming to assemble a squad capable of competing for major honours. ............

 

Tudor’s style of play differs significantly from that of previous Juventus managers. This tactical contrast makes it essential for the club to adapt its recruitment strategy accordingly. The way he sets up his team directly influences the type of players who should be brought in.

 

Given these tactical nuances, Juventus must ensure Tudor plays an active role in identifying and approving transfer targets. Without his input, the club risks signing players who may be talented but are ultimately unsuited to his system. ............

 

The transfer market does offer a number of high-profile names who may bring commercial benefits and global attention. However, Juventus would be wiser to prioritise players who can immediately influence the team’s performance, helping to deliver tangible success on the pitch.

 

The only way to ensure immediate and lasting success is by identifying player profiles that align with Tudor’s tactical demands. This means collaborating closely with him during the recruitment process and trusting his judgement about which individuals will strengthen the team. ............

“It won’t be enough” – Capello warns Tudor ahead his second Juventus season

 

 

Legendary Italian manager Fabio Capello insists that Igor Tudor will have to deliver better results in his first full campaign at Juventus. ............

 

However, Capello warns Tudor that finishing in the Champions League zone won’t be enough this time around, as the management and the fanbase will expect to see the club making a step in the right direction.

 

“Juve have resolved their defence issues by confirming Gatti and Bremer,” noted the former Juventus, Real Madrid and England manager.

 

“Let’s look at Tudor. He took them to the Champions League last season, but this won’t be enough this term.” ............

 

“The challenge will be Koopmeiners. We expected him to be the scoring midfielder like Scott McTominay last season. And yet, he disappeared.

 

“Sancho’s role depends on Tudor’s vision, how he wants to play, whether he should move out wide. He’s the coach.” ............

 

“I hope Kolo Muani comes back, I really like him. Otherwise, they should keep Vlahovic, even if his time at Juventus seems to be over.”

Why Igor Tudor is annoyed with Juventus transfer strategy

 

 

Juventus manager Igor Tudor is reportedly unsatisfied with one particular aspect of the club’s transfer campaign. ............

 

The former Bianconeri defender is now preparing for his first full season as Juventus boss, while Damien Comolli and Co. are working on providing him with a squad suitable for his 3-4-2-1 system.

 

But Tudor hasn’t been entirely pleased with the management’s work thus far, particularly in the excessive time they’re taking to finalise transfers. ............

 

The former Marseille and Lazio manager was hoping to have the bulk of the squad ready for pre-season.

 

However, the club’s preparations will begin on Thursday, and Juventus have only managed to sign Jonathan David thus far, albeit Francisco Conceicao’s permanent transfer should be announced in the coming hours. ............

 

However, the hierarchy has been struggling to offload the likes of Dusan Vlahovic and Douglas Luiz, which has derailed their plans. ............

Tudor wants to keep returning veteran despite Roma & Atalanta interest

 

 

Juventus manager Igor Tudor would be happy to host Filip Kostic next season after being convinced by his displays. ............

 

The Serbian then made a swift return to Juventus, and was immediately reinstated in the squad ahead of the FIFA World Cup campaign. While he wasn’t always a starter, Kostic did enough to win Tudor’s favour.

 

The Croatian manager has now asked the management to maintain the 32-year-old’s services for next season. ............

 

Kostic can act as a backup for Andrea Cambiaso on the left flank in Tudor’s 3-4-2-1 formation, although this might be a temporary solution until Juan Cabal regains his optimal physical condition.

 

The source also reveals that Roma and Atalanta have also enquired about the player’s availability. The two clubs will play similar formations to Tudor’s, with Gian Piero Gasperini taking over the Italian capital side, and his old disciple, Ivan Juric, replacing him at Atalanta. ............

Tudor trials two Juventus tactics ahead of Borussia Dortmund test

 

 

Juventus are currently in Germany to continue their pre-season preparations and head coach Igor Tudor has reportedly tested two different systems ahead of an upcoming friendly against Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund.

 

The Bianconeri have two more pre-season friendlies on their fixture list ahead of their Serie A opener against Parma on August 24, firstly against Bundesliga giants Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park on Sunday, and then against Atalanta in Bergamo the following weekend. ............

 

Tudor has tested two different formations during the early sessions of the team’s training camp in Germany. ............

 

First is the 3-4-2-1 that Tudor typically employed during his first few months in charge at the back end of the 2024-25 season, and second was a slightly different set-up, in a 4-2-3-1, similar to how Thiago Motta used to line up before his dismissal last season. 

 

Both systems have seen summer signing Jonathan David start as the sole centre-forward. The 4-2-3-1 saw Kenan Yildiz star in his preferred role as the ‘no.10’, with room for the likes of Francisco Conceicao and Teun Koopmeiners to play in supporting trequartista roles either side of him. ............
