Spalletti: Juventus' summer window was not perfect; Yildiz is the strongest player

Spalletti summarized Juventus' summer signings. When looking back on the transfer window, the Juventus coach said: "There is no longer a perfect transfer market, only a workable transfer market. Our sporting director is very good at stepping in in the right circumstances and making timely adjustments according to the conditions offered by the market. The entire process lasted a long time, and some aspects were also difficult, because from the beginning you did not have the opportunity to freely choose and sign the players you wanted."

Woltemade

Speaking about the new signing who joined from Newcastle United, Spalletti also gave his assessment: "Generally speaking, players with his physical qualities and height are more like finishers rather than forwards who are more closely connected with the team, and they are more focused on being shooters inside the penalty area. However, he is very good at dropping back to participate in combinations. He has strong physicality, so things like heading and finishing in the box, whether he likes them or not, must become second nature to him, because he enjoys participating in football play. He is very strong physically. Since I have known him, he has always been smiling: he is very happy to be here, and that is already very important."

The impact of Yildiz and Thuram's absence

Spalletti did not make excuses, but he emphasized: "They must be viewed together with the signings the team completed this summer, because these are important losses that will limit what we have already built. Yildiz, without beating around the bush, is the strongest player we have. We are waiting for him to return with open arms, and we are also very happy that his surgery was completed successfully. Khephren's situation was somewhat unexpected for us. We originally thought we had created the conditions for him to fully display all his abilities, and his qualities are numerous and difficult to find in other players."

Vicario and his Juventus dream

The Juventus goalkeeper also talked about his first few days in Turin: "If I said everything felt normal, I would be lying. Wearing the Juventus shirt is such a great honor and privilege that it is difficult to describe the feeling. I have always hoped to come here, but I could not control how the transfer market changed. I completed my preseason preparation without any friendlies while waiting for the transfer to happen. I waited for Juventus, but I never felt that I was a backup option. If I am here, it is because the club and the coach chose and wanted me here. That was my goal, and I have achieved it. Everything else is just talk. Juventus is more important than the Premier League! Winning while wearing this shirt will be the greatest satisfaction, and the weight of victory will surpass everything else."
