Riccardo Gentile from Sky Sport studios discussed the current situation at Juventus. Here is a summary of his comments: “Talk of rediscovered certainties might be premature after just one match against Genoa. However, it`s clear the team has made a positive start with the new coach. While their victory wasn`t flawless or extraordinary – which would be surprising given recent performances – Juventus showed attentiveness. Importantly, they scored early, something they hadn`t managed in the previous two games where they conceded seven goals against Atalanta and Fiorentina. Against Genoa, their goalkeeper remained unbeaten, which is definitely encouraging. This could be a small step forward. Furthermore, Vlahovic seems to be relishing playing as a starter again.
He has the coach`s trust, which was already known, and this can be a significant motivator. Having confidence when you step onto the pitch, something he previously lacked, visibly changes your mentality. This explains the different Vlahovic we are seeing. Although Kolo Muani had a promising start and adapted well to Juventus`s difficult phase, drawing definitive conclusions after a single game against Genoa is challenging. This upcoming match is a significant test, perhaps even too demanding. Going from Genoa, despite their strong season, to facing a stronger and ambitious Roma at the Olimpico is a big jump. A slightly less daunting opponent might have been preferable for Juventus, but this is what the fixture list dictates.”
