Giuntoli begins one-on-one Juventus meetings as Motta ponders formation change | OneFootball

Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli has reportedly begun one-on-one meetings with Bianconeri players, while Thiago Motta is considering changing the system for the next game against Genoa.

Juventus are licking their wounds after back-to-back defeats against Atalanta and Fiorentina, in which they conceded seven goals and scored none.

Recent poor results saw the Old Lady drop below the top four and Giuntoli has already met Motta twice since the latest defeat against Fiorentina.

A previous Gazzetta report claimed the Juventus management had asked Motta to restore defensive solidity and create a better connection with part of the dressing room.

Their latest report says that Giuntoli has already begun one-on-one meetings with Juventus players, who also need to acknowledge their responsibilities for this season’s poor results.

Giuntoli has also suggested Motta have an ‘open dialogue’ with the footballers, although many are currently out on international duty.

The Juventus coach is also working on new tactics to help Juventus escape their crisis.

According to Gazzetta, Motta is considering using a three-man defence, a 4-3-3 or 4-3-1-2 system, which would allow Randal Kolo Muani to get more support from other attacking players.

Juventus’ line-up change could also see Dusan Vlahovic return to the starting XI, joining Kolo Muani against Genoa after the international break.
