Mi Ti: Spalletti is promoting Juventus tactical reform and plans to adjust from a three-back to a four-back

November 16th, "Gazzetta dello Sport" reported that Juventus coach Spalletti is using the national team's break to promote tactical reforms, planning to adjust the formation from three to four backs, aiming to adopt a 4-3-3 or 4-3-1-2 system, and hopes to show a new look against Fiorentina.

Spalletti does not plan to make large-scale signings in January, but will focus on exploring the potential of existing players. Spalletti's first important adjustment was to drop Kupmenas to the left side of the defence.

In the new system, Bremer is the first choice for central defender, but he has not yet trained with Spalletti. Kalulu is another main force, Gatti is ahead of Rugani in the selection, and Kelly is about to return.

On the left, Spalletti reactivated Kostic, who was abandoned by Tudor. The latter has played 168 minutes, far exceeding the 63 minutes during Tudor's period. Spalletti sees him as a positive option and had considered him during his time at Napoli. Cambiaso can play on both sides of the ball.

The key players in the midfield include captain Locatelli, Thuram and Kupmenas, who can serve as left center midfielders. Miretti, who has returned from injury, may also become an important part, and Spalletti is considering using him as an organizer. McKennie is still a versatile player on the right, with the freedom to cut inside.

Yildiz and Conceição are available on the wing, but Gegrova is gaining momentum, and Spalletti speaks highly of him.

Forward, Vlahovic is the first choice for a single arrow, but Spalletti also made it clear that "double forward tactics can also be used", which provides the possibility for Openda, who the coach calls "a role between the forward and the second forward." However, David is not the main choice. Spalletti positions him as "a 'problem solver' in the final period when the opponent shrinks his defense", that is, a substitute surprise player.
