Changes in the club management are said to have been the reason why the brake was stepped on, reported Tuttosport. At the beginning of August, the Norwegian Viking is again linked to Juventus. On Friday, coach Spalletti goes out and talks about the big shortcoming in the Juve attack.

Dusan Vlahovic has not been replaced, on Friday the Juventus coach tries not to seem stressed two weeks before the start of the season, but does not quite succeed.
“If you look at our squad, you can say that we are missing a pure striker, but it is not something we are worried about.

I am convinced that as a team we can reach that number of goals together,” the Juventus coach begins according to La Gazetta dello Sport.

-We will play both Sunday and Thursday, so it is an advantage to have more players who can contribute with goals. That way we can rotate without losing quality. We also have Ekhator, who can be a strong presence on the pitch, so we are quite calm,” Spalletti concludes.
