Luciano Spalletti expressed great satisfaction with RandalKoloMuani's performance during the match against Genoa, which marked matchday nine of Serie A. In a press conference held the evening before the match, the Juve coach praised the young attacker's attitude towards both his teammates and opponents, underlining how his presence on the pitch creates an intimidating effect towards his opponents and, at the same time, offers advantages to his colleagues.
According to Spalletti, Muani is a player who "causes an effect of fear in his opponents and his teammates take advantage of it". The coach recalled the episode in which the youngster reacted with great enthusiasm to DouglasLuiz's 2‑0 goal, demonstrating how attentive he is to the collective result and how happy he is when the team wins. “He is not jealous of his teammates and feels satisfied when the team achieves a good result,” added Spalletti, highlighting the importance of this mentality for the team.
The president then discussed possible tactical variations, in particular the introduction of a 3-5-2. “We must not penalize those who have different characteristics and a very small rotation is enough to make it become 3-4-2-1 and anyone can fit in the two,” he explained. Spalletti highlighted that Muani can occupy the space between the attacking midfielder and the winger, making him a versatile element for the team's future. “The idea is to create a solution that is not just for playing matches, but to give different motivations and spaces to the players,” he concluded.
The coach reiterated the trust he has in Muani, stating that his reaction on the pitch is a positive sign for the team. “Inside these reactions there is everything that makes me happy with him and makes me have faith in him,” declared Spalletti. With these words, Juve is preparing to continue the season with a new tactical approach, aiming to make the most of the qualities of its players, in particular those of KoloMuani, to achieve the championship objectives.
