"There is emotion, because it is the first time for this competition, and we know that here are the best teams in the world, but we did not come to participate, this is clear." Tudor Igor (in the photo) always blends dreams and concreteness. Now that the Juve he confirmed and renewed it, he knows that at Club World Cup the opportunity is unique for a leap in level that the entire black and white world hopes for. The team is already training at Greenbrier Resort, in West Virginia, in view of the debut against the Emirates ofAl-Ain, Thursday at 3 am (Italian time). It seems that the Croatian coach does not want to abandon the 3-4-2-1 which allowed us to gain the pass in the championship Champions. Veiga will no longer be in defence, having returned to Chelsea after his loan from January until the end of the championship, but the alternative for Tudor will be represented by Rugani. And then there is curiosity to see if Bremer will be able to get his legs going for the first few minutes after the terrible knee injury last October. In midfield, however, the certainty is always Thuram with captain Locatelli who is recovering from the ailments suffered in the national team, while Conceiçao e Star there remain quality men to be placed in the three-quarter line. It remains to be seen whether space will be given in attack to kolo muani, whose loan was extended precisely for the World Cup, or Dusan Vlahovic.
