Mid-body: Tudor restricts Inter Milan s attack from the wing, McKenny s left wingback + Kalulu s right wingback

September 8 According to the "Milan Sports" report, Juventus may let McKennie play on the left wingback to limit Dumfries in the national derby against Inter Milan.

In the third round of Serie A this weekend, Juventus will face Inter Milan at home. Juventus' current coach Tudor has represented Juventus in the Italian national derby 11 times during his player age, achieving 5 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss, but this will be the first time Tudor has participated in the national derby as Juventus coach. And "Milan Sports" revealed some of Tudor's tactical ideas.

First of all, it is the left wingback position. Since Cambiaso was suspended for two games after receiving a red card in the first round of Serie A, he will continue to be suspended and missed. In the last round of Serie A, Tudor arranged for Joao Mario to play on the left wingback. But when facing Inter Milan, Tudor hopes to limit Inter's right wingback Dumfries' attack power and consider allowing the physically fit McKennie to start playing on the left wingback.

Dumfries has been in excellent form recently, scoring 1 goal and assisting 1 time in two World Cup qualifiers in the Netherlands, almost like an extra striker. Tudor hopes to use McKenny to start and limit Dumfries first, and then consider replacing Joao Mario with the attack in the second half. Although Kostic can also play on the left wingback, Milan Sports believes that Kostic has participated in the Serbian national team competition in the past two weeks, while McKennie has not been selected for the US national team in this issue. He stayed at Juventus to receive coach Tudor's guidance and was in better physical fitness, so he has an advantage in position competition.

And in the right wingback position, Tudor will continue to let Kalulu, who was the last starter, play in this position. This is also due to the consideration of stabilizing the defense first, Kalulu can limit Dimarco or Augusto. Tudor's idea is that the two wingbacks mainly do a good job in defensive work, while Juventus' offensive task on the wing is handed over to two front midfielders Ilditz and Koencesan.

Although Vlahovic scored consecutive goals recently, Jonathan David will still start in the national derby, and he is good at retracement and cooperates with his teammates. Meanwhile, Vlahovic and Oponda will be on standby on the bench.
