TURIN – Juventus showed signs of significant improvement thanks to Luciano Spalletti's tactical innovations in the victory against Atalanta at the Stadium on September 20, 2026. The coach was able to adapt the team without sacrificing its unique characteristics, despite transfer restrictions.
Spalletti, known for not being a dogmatic coach, changed the team's center of gravity by lowering it slightly, allowing Kolo Muani to express himself more effectively with constant runs into space, even without scoring. Furthermore, Douglas Luiz took on a key role, increasing his responsibility, dictating passes and protecting the defense alongside Sarr, whose performance also enhanced Bremer.
Among the positive notes, Nico Gonzalez also stands out, who benefited from a certain freedom of action within a rigorous tactical system, managing to influence the play.
While it's still premature to talk about a definitive turnaround for the team, the club's decision to retain Spalletti is proving to be a sound one. The defeat against Sassuolo is being considered a blip, quickly rectified by a convincing team victory, which demonstrated a focused attitude and a virtually error-free performance.
The victory is more significant than previous experiences, such as the Europa League match against NEC Nijmegen, because it came against a competitive team and with a convincing team performance, which underlines the coach's work in improving the unity and functionality of the group.
