Igor Tudor’s tenure as Juventus coach began with a powerful message: “We are Juventus.” With these three words, he aimed to convey the essence of what needed to be understood. IlBianconeri report how the Croatian tactician emphasized that Juventus is truly in a league of its own, and the recent setback should be just that – a temporary setback and nothing more.
The new coach is determined to restart the team’s engine and do so with immediate effect. While yesterday’s training session focused on demanding intensity from the players, today’s session is expected to provide interesting tactical insights. The full squad is anticipated to be present tomorrow, allowing Tudor to implement his vision more comprehensively.
Tudor’s approach to addressing the team was not a dramatic, Hollywood-style speech. Instead, he reserved his most impactful words for Wednesday when the entire squad will be present. At that time, he plans to clarify his proposal and conduct individual conversations with players, initiating what he calls the “therapy” phase.
The core of Tudor’s philosophy is to identify the problem and then solve it. He has indicated this concept as the starting point for greater achievements. The essence of his message was clear and unequivocal: the current state of affairs is unacceptable, and an immediate, significant change is necessary. Tudor believes that the players’ attitude has been the real obstacle to the revolution that Thiago Motta had envisioned.
With great humility and respect, Igor Tudor is attempting to take charge of Juventus. He is acutely aware of one thing above all else: living up to the badge he once wore with immense pride will be a challenging task. His approach combines a deep understanding of the club’s ethos with a pragmatic view of the work that lies ahead.
