Luciano Spalletti knows well that his Juventus needs quality in addition to, of course, results. The Coppa Italia challenge won against Udinese has shown something positive for the black and white coach, who – according to his own admission – has seen his players “less worried”. In this scenario, after the match, Spalletti wanted to highlight an aspect that has particularly impressed him, with a reference to one player in particular.

Spalletti surprised by Zhegrova

It's about Edo Zhegrova, the player that Spalletti is using droppers to allow him to find the best physical condition after a long absence. This time, the attacking winger played only a fragment at the end of the match, but still showed his qualities. In particular, he caused the stadium to applaud with an explosion of the former Lille player, which showed his potential.

Enthusiasm for Zhegrova

Spalletti spoke clearly, referring in particular to the Kosovar's spirit of sacrifice, who understood what the coach was asking for. The coach also admitted that he had made a mistake by perhaps giving him too little space: "I am also satisfied with Zhegrova's 10-15 minutes: he comes from a long period of inactivity, perhaps he deserved more space. He chased into our area, which is not his quality. I liked it a lot."

The inevitable assessment of what a player with Edon Zhegrova's characteristics can bring to Juventus is inevitable. Spalletti makes it clear that he believes in his qualities: "It confirms the extraordinary imagination and precision he has: he is a lit fuse, he can explode at any moment, he sees spaces where others see walls."

And now, with the season in full swing and a tour de force on the horizon, a player like him could be very valuable to Juventus, who will have to do without Dusan Vlahovic.
