Juventus has finally acknowledged that Teun Koopmeiners is not performing at his best. While Motta consistently praised the Dutch player, Tudor has openly discussed the difficulties Koopmeiners is facing. According to reports, getting Koopmeiners back to his peak form is a primary goal for the new Juventus coach.
Tudor is working on several fronts: returning to winning ways, initiating a shift in the team`s playing style (focusing on maneuver development rather than just individual quality), and revitalizing players who appeared drained under the previous management. Some progress is beginning to emerge from the initial training sessions, particularly on the field. However, significant work remains to be done regarding Koopmeiners` performances.
Alongside Douglas Luiz, who has been largely absent, Koopmeiners represents the biggest disappointment for Juventus this season, especially considering the summer expectations and his transfer fee. Unlike his predecessor, Tudor has openly expressed concerns about Koopmeiners` current form in post-match statements. Reports suggest that Tudor is taking action by holding private talks with Koopmeiners to restore his confidence and implementing targeted training sessions to improve his physical condition.
This indicates that Koopmeiners will continue training with the group but will also undertake supplementary preparation tailored to his physical needs. It remains to be seen whether Tudor`s approach can succeed in revitalizing what has become one of the most challenging situations of the season.
