Before the match of the Italian Super Cup against Inter Milan where unfortunately he will not be able to be Juan Guillermo Cuadrado after receiving his fifth yellow in Serie A against Roma. Coach Massimiliano Allegri spoke of the Colombian’s absence and the new role he will have to take after the hard injury of Federico Chiesa.
“It’s a shame to play without Square and Matthijs de Ligt, but I must say that regardless of the players involved, It is not pleasant to miss a final for a yellow in the league. I hope that this rule changes in the future “, assured the Italian DT.
Square, in charge of taking the role of Chiesa
The Italian winger suffered a cruciate ligament injury in his left knee. As reported by Vecchia Signora will have to undergo surgery and everything indicates that he would miss the remainder of the season. A tough loss for Juve and for the Italian National Team that will fight for a place in the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
Allegri was asked if he analyzes a signing in this market after Chiesa’s injury, the DT ruled out arrivals and pointed out that they have solutions, think of Juan Guillermo Cuadrado as a winger to give him clarity in attack. “The squad is this and we will stay with them. We have many offensive solutions and if necessary we will go up to Cuadrado.”
Although Chiesa plays for the left sector and Cuadrado would play for the right, the Colombian is important in that last quarter of the court due to his imbalance, this season he has been the highest scorer. When he plays as a winger he has to fulfill the defensive function, as a winger he would be free. Allegri knows that her change of pace is important too.
The 33-year-old player, leader of the dressing room, would have to be the leader of Juve’s game ideas for the remainder of the season.
