Scottish midfielder Scott McTominay has shown a natural talent for scoring during his time at Napoli, where he has already scored 31 times. Despite this, his career in Italy has not yet seen a meeting with Juventus, and his sticker album remains devoid of the Juventus team. Tomorrow, the player will face Juve in Turin, the fifth time he will find himself in front of the stadium where he made his debut in the Napoli shirt in 2024.
Coach Allegri, who like Conte has been able to make the most of McTominay's versatility, plans to exploit him in a 4‑3‑3, where the player will be able to start from midfield and then occupy all the spaces, both in the open field and in the crowd. McTominay is considered one of the keys for the Turin team, especially now that he is back in shape after cardiac ablation surgery in Manchester for a mild benign arrhythmia. His return was immediate: he scored two braces in a few days, one in the Champions League against Bodø/Glimt and the other in the league against Roma, both at Maradona.
His first impact in Italy was on 21 September 2024, when he started with Conte at Allianz, and his first goal came shortly after, against Como at the beginning of October. Tomorrow, Juventus will be the next challenge for McTominay and the Turin team, who hopes to use his experience and attack to try to overcome the Juventus team.
