Edon Zhegrova continues to be one of the most talked about names at Juventus. The Albanian striker has left a positive impression in the minutes he has been given, winning the sympathy of the black and white fans, who are demanding that he be activated as a starter.
However, coach Luciano Spalletti seems to have no intention of changing his stance. The Italian coach explained the reasons for his decision during an interview on the show "La Domenica Sportiva" on "Rai Sport".
Spalletti praised Zhegrova's attacking skills and the impact he can have when he comes off the bench, but stressed that the Albanian footballer still has difficulties in situations where the team needs to maintain a balance between attack and defense.
"Sometimes he plays very well in the last half hour. But when you put him in challenging situations, in matches where the game is constantly changing and you have to defend, he starts to make mistakes. He does one thing quite well, while another not so well. We never manage to have a complete balance," said Spalletti.
Thus, despite positive performances and the fans' demand to see her from the first minute, Zhegrova must convince the coach that she can contribute not only in the offensive phase, but also in the tactical and defensive aspects.
