Giovanni Trapattoni thinks that with the new tactical system, Juventus are now stronger than last year.
Juve have showed that they can adapt to different situations both in Italy and in Europe and Trap thinks that this could be a key going forward.
“This team has the qualities to do well both in the League and in Europe,” Trap told Tuttosport today.
“They can do well regardless of the actual starting XI, because there is a huge tactical balance and Massimiliano Allegri is managing the changes well.
“Allegri has got everything in place to go as far as possible in Europe and then win the League again.
“If Juve aren’t unlucky and if they don’t suffer serious injuries, then they can also challenge abroad.
“The first three months of the new year will be key to their season and we’ll be able to understand better where they can get to.
“Meanwhile they have showed an exceptional awareness of their potential, because if you looked at the players’ eyes against Parma, they showed an incredible determination.
“You could read through their eyes how they craved for that win. Apart from the value of the team they were facing, I think that they managed to convey a feeling of incredible strength.
“And only a team that wants to progress in every competition can give you that feeling.”
As recently as in the games against Olympiacos and Parma, the Bianconeri switched from the 3-5-2 deployed during Antonio Conte’s reign to Allegri’s 4-3-2-1 and Trap believes that this makes them more competitive at continental level.
“Tactically, now they are chameleonic because they are versatile and they have showed this – that’s why I can fairly state that they are more European than before and that’s a decisive quality.”
The Bianconeri thrashed Parma 7-0 over the weekend, but Trap has got some advice for Allegri.
“Yes that’s true, I also won a game 7-0 against Ascoli 31 years ago, but the truth is that after a result of that magnitude, there’s only one thing to do – you’ve got to stay well alert. They just can’t rest on their laurels.”
