Spalletti Ahead of Parma Clash: We Must Maintain Balance and Attack

Luciano Spalletti, the head coach of Juventus, spoke about his team's preparations for the upcoming match against Parma on Saturday, as part of the second round of the Serie A. He emphasized that his team must maintain balance while delivering an attacking style of football.

Regarding the team's condition, Spalletti said: "Kinan Yildiz will not be available, nor will Weston McKennie due to fatigue, while Khephren Thuram is dealing with a minor issue and we will assess his situation tomorrow morning. The rest of the players are available." He added that Yildiz's absence can be compensated with several options, including Karim Adeyemi, Nico Gonzalez, and Jonathan David.

The coach spoke about Randal Kolo Muani, affirming his complete trust in the player's abilities: "We have full confidence in Kolo Muani's quality. We signed him, and it was an important investment. We want to put him in situations that allow him to repay that trust. He is excellent at moving, exceptional with the ball, and knows how to connect with his teammates, but he needs to regain his best form. I want him to become a true goal scorer because he has all the attributes."

Regarding the match against Parma, Spalletti stressed that Juventus must play their style regardless of the opponent, saying: "We are not playing against this opponent or that one; we play every match as Juventus. We need to reach the opponent's half and penetrate behind their defensive line. Parma has speed up front, so we must be cautious and maintain balance while also playing offensively."

Luciano Spalletti praised new arrival Kamil Grabara, stating: "I would like to congratulate the club, we have signed a top-class goalkeeper. What stands out to me is his natural and smooth style, as if he is a football player in goal. The club and the owners have done a great job signing two goalkeepers of this level."
