Luciano Spalletti produced another tactical iteration of his Juventus team after several more injuries, and it paid immediate dividends against Lecce. After Francisco Conceição and Nicolas Gonzalez were sidelined for a week, the coach switched to a clean 3-5-2.
according to La Gazzetta dello Sportthe tweak was at least partially agreed upon with the players. The Bianconeri They were chronically suspicious of the defense. With Pierre Kalulu playing out wide with Federico Gatti at the back rather than at the back, the new formation helps that aim considerably.
Spalletti has used 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3 and 3-4-2-1 throughout his career so far and during his time at Juventus, taking advantage of Weston McKennie’s versatility. The recently developed tactic is less active by his standards. Plus, it allows him to bring together Randal Kolo Muani and Nick Woltemade. They worked better as a combo than leading a solo attack.
The adjustment immediately benefited Douglas Luiz and Teun Koopmeiners. The first scored a goal and assisted against “Lecce”, and the second was an assistant. Both seem more comfortable with another man next to them in midfield. The former Aston Villa star has strengthened his work with Manuel Locatelli. Instead, the Dutchman would like to extend his stay in Turin.
Our attitude towards Spalletti and Juventus

Still, they need to be healthy on at least one side to achieve sustained success, and thus compromise less.
