Marco Piccari thinks Juventus should stick with two strikers up front

Juventus have looked more dangerous in attack in recent matches when Randal Kolo Muani and Nick Woltemade have played together. Both forwards have been in good form and have contributed to the team’s efforts, giving the manager a potential solution to improve their attacking output.

Although this Juventus side is still a work in progress, there are signs that the best is yet to come. The team appears to create more problems for opponents when both strikers are on the pitch, particularly in the second half of matches.

Juventus benefit from two forwards

The main challenge is that Juventus do not have a third striker on the bench, making it difficult to start both Kolo Muani and Woltemade regularly. However, their performances together suggest that the manager could benefit from finding a way to use them as a partnership more often.

Juventus need to make the most of their attacking options if they want to score more goals and win matches consistently. While the manager must decide the best approach for each fixture, the evidence from recent games suggests that playing both forwards together deserves serious consideration.

Their impact has been particularly noticeable after the break, when Juventus have looked more threatening going forward. Finding a way to bring that attacking threat into the starting line-up could help the team make a stronger start to matches.

Piccari calls for Juventus to build on improvement

Marco Piccari also discussed Juventus’ performance against Celta and the difference made by the changes in the second half. Speaking via Tuttojuve, he said:

“Celta turns the ball around and plays quickly. Juve are hard to comment, they have created nothing in the top 45. First half to forget, in the second half the entrance of Nico Gonzalez and Kolo Muani changed Juve who took the field and created. Two points in front give more weight, it’s time to insist.”

Piccari’s comments highlight the contrast between Juventus’ first-half and second-half performances. The team struggled to create chances before the break, but the introduction of Nico Gonzalez and Kolo Muani brought greater attacking intent.

Juventus must now find a way to maintain that improvement more consistently. If using Kolo Muani and Woltemade together can help the team create more chances, the manager may need to consider making the partnership a bigger part of his plans.
