Juve is back, now Motta has the team in hand: Kolo Muani and Conceicao shine

Bologna, 17 February 2025 – La Juve is back? Maybe yes. The long-awaited continuity of results is coming. Three consecutive victories in Serie A had been missing for over a year, that is, since the period December 2023-January 2024, when Allegri reached six in a row. The road is still long, but at least in the Champions League brawl the Bianconeri are sending a signal. They have regained the Lazio, detached the Fiorentina - defeated at home by Como - and kept at a distance Bologna e Milan, who however must recover the October challenge postponed due to the flood. In short, Motta has found results, which we know in black and white are the only thing that matters. It took him a while, but now we see a Juve that is clearer in its identity, more reactive, more foaming at the mouth when it comes to putting pragmatism, concreteness and attitude on the field. And we know, beating Inter also helps to enter more and better into the hearts of the fans...

Motta has the team in his hands

Thiago's initial difficulties were clear for all to see. They started with an iron fist, with players outside the project and left to go, a long situation that continued until the exit of Danilo, but now the group is consolidating around the ideas of the coach and this is having an impact on the results on the pitch. It really seems that today Motta has the team in hand, that he can make it express itself as he would like, with the intensity and the right attitude and the appropriate tactical corrections after a dull autumn phase, at times weak in spirit and not always capable of managing the game. With Inter, however, a new Juve, not perfect in the first half but exciting in the second half, when they reversed the inertia demonstrating that they have more and better than the Nerazzurri. A mental toughness that was not there before and that now makes us also look forward to the return with the psv with great confidence. And today Thiago is also less criticized, because the change of pace is perceived and a victory against the historic enemy Inter cannot leave the Juventus fans insensitive. The celebration at the goal of conception, with leap and punch, certainly did not go unnoticed.

Kolo Muani to be confirmed

A crazy play, in traffic, with roulette, skipping three and putting conception in a position to hit the net. Not just goals for kolo muani. This is precisely why Motta wanted him so much. A striker like him, capable of scoring but also of making others score, is pure gold for Juventus' maneuver and best represents what the coach asks for and what he has translated Vlahovic on the bench. There is no doubt about the usefulness of the Frenchman, who opens spaces, moves on the front, attacks the depth. In short: he plays as a team. It is not like Zirkzee, meaning characteristics, but he has the speed and technique to unravel Juve's offensive tangle that had jammed in the fall. And someone like that should be confirmed in the summer, also because he's not thinking about returning to Paris. Joints is already at work, but it won't be easy. For now there is talk of a new loan, this time onerous, with a redemption in 2026 for around 50 million euros. psg will he accept or will he want to cash in right away? In the second case, sacrifices and capital gains will be needed to reach the requested amount. The margins are there and Kolo Muani is a candidate to be the starting striker of the future, with all due respect to Dusan Vlahovic.

Conceicao shines: “Now let’s continue”

The son of art continues to shine. Francisco conception he split Juve-Inter and scored one of the most important goals of his career. It's not worth a trophy, but it's worth a rebirth Juve against the bitter enemy. Another good catch from the management and another player to try to confirm in June. Dealing with the Harbour It won't be easy, but Giuntoli has only one mission in mind: to redeem him. In the meantime, Francisco is enjoying the beautiful goal and the great victory: "It's an important victory like the others, but now we have to continue because in this club you have to win all the games. You can see the unity of the group and now we have to continue because in Holland we will have another important game". Now we need to put aside a nest egg to redeem him. Juve took him on a costly loan of 7 million plus bonuses and they will need between 30 and 40 to buy him permanently.

Vlahovic out, but Arsenal goes for Retegui

The nest egg for the incoming market can come from Dusan Vlahovic, today increasingly oriented towards the sale. Round Muani he changed the hierarchy and in the summer Juve could make other offensive investments, so his agent is open to the market. The recent benches could extinguish some interests, but at international level Dusan has a market and it will be up to the agent to bring interesting offers for Juve too. Attention at Arsenal, who had included him among the objectives, but according to English sources he would have been overtaken by Retegui on the Serbian striker in the Gunners' preferences. But how much would Juve sell him for? Probably not under 50 million, which would still be useful to limit the lack of growth in the last period. It should be remembered that Vlahovic he was paid 70 million plus bonuses and never in black and white would they have thought of selling him three and a half years later for a lower figure. In short, the balance of Dusan's black and white experience, if there really will be a separation in June, will create debate. There is no debate on the fact that Kolo Muani has truly had an extraordinary impact on Italian football. There is no doubt about who the owner is.
