Tudor lauds ‘strong’ Koopmeiners, weighs in on Vlahovic & David

 

 

Juventus head coach Igor Tudor was full of praise for Teun Koompmeiners following Saturday’s friendly win over Atalanta.

 

The Bianconeri had their dress rehearsal before next weekend’s Serie A opener against Atalanta. They managed to round off a brief, yet positive, pre-season by beating La Dea in Bergamo by two goals to one. ............

 

The Dutchman has been mostly playing as an attacking midfielder since his arrival in Turin, but Tudor is adamant about testing him in a deeper role. ............

 

“Teun was very good,” said Tudor in his post-match press conference. “He’s a strong player. I really liked his display today.” ............

 

The 46-year-old was also asked about Jonathan David who had a quiet evening, but ended up breaking the deadlock in the 73rd minute with an acrobatic effort.

 

“When you play against Atalanta, you have to be ready for a duel. It wasn’t easy against Hien, so welcome to Italian football!

 

“Jonathan moved a lot, he worked hard, he gave everything. It was different for him at Lille, as he didn’t have as many duels. Today, he had more duels than he did while playing 10 games for Lille, and then he scored in the box. He’s an excellent player.” ............

 

“I won’t talk about the transfer market, there are still 10 days left. I liked Dusan’s performance. He’s valuable and he’s a Juventus player.”

Tudor will only make one change to Juventus starting lineup against Parma

 

 

Ahead of Sunday’s meeting with Parma, Juventus manager Igor Tudor is only expected to introduce a single change to the starting lineup that took on Atalanta in their last pre-season friendly. ............

 

On Saturday, the Croatian manager decided to field a strong starting XI against Atalanta. In the end, the Turin-based giants prevailed in Bergamo by two goals to one, courtesy of Jonathan David and Dusan Vlahovic.

 

That contest provided an important indicator on how the team will line up, at least in the opening rounds of the season.

 

Tudor will maintain the same lineup when they host Parma on the opening day of the Serie A campaign, with only one exception. ............

 

In the middle of the park, Manuel Locatelli will replace Teun Koopmeiners. Although the Dutchman didn’t embarrass himself in the deeper role, the club captain and Khephren Thuram remain ahead of him in the pecking order.

 

Juventus expected XI (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Gatti, Bremer, Kelly; Gonzalez, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso; Conceicao, Yildiz; David.
