Interviewed for TJ, Domenico Marocchino spoke about Juventus’ offensive department and what should be the needs for the strengthening campaign. Here’s what he said, “One type of profile that should be gone on is that of a striker of Mandzukic’s characteristics, if he existed and was still available. I was reading about Raspadori, but he scored four goals and I don’t understand if he is a striker or a midfielder. But then, broadening the discourse, you will have to come to a decision: whether to continue like this, or switch to two forwards. If I were to change form, there is the question of who will be able to flank him.”

Dusan Vlahovic, attaccante della Juventus
Also, on the tactical system of the Bianconeri team, Moroccan added, “I would prefer to have at least two forwards. We went from having four to one, it’s not normal. Some people say the defense department needs to be strengthened, okay but the attack? If Vlahovic gets injured, who plays the striker who is not capable of acting with his back to the goal? Had we had Milik or Kean available, everything would have made more sense. Vlahovic’s problem is to implement a certain football logic, beyond the fact that his average is a goal almost every two games. Then it’s fine that he kicks penalties, but those are still numbers to be reckoned with. He doesn’t run the department alone, he needs to have the play from the midfield to be able to finalize more.”
