Juventus prepares for the post Cristiano Ronaldo era

La Vecchia Signora will only remain a nickname. Juventus has decided during this market to lower the average age of the squad and try to replace with youth and projection several players who consider that they have already completed their cycle in Turin. Pjanic, Matuidi, Higuaín, Douglas Costa … all thirty-somethings who have found relief in younger players. In the third decade of his life and within the squad few hold for this 20/21. In this select group are Buffon, an absolute legend of the club, several veterans of the highest level such as Bonucci or Chiellini, useful players such as Cuadrado, a Sami Khedira who has not found a way out and the great star, Cristiano Ronaldo.

The 35-year-old Portuguese is still more than key but Juventus is aware that his time in the most absolute elite is short, although the 7 strives day by day because it seems that time does not pass through his physique or affect his performance .

Thus, the property and the sports management have agreed to give Andrea Pirlo new blood to his staff to prepare the transition in the sweetest way possible and that the new ones grow under the tutelage of the Portuguese. This period of transfers, Juve strongly bet on Arthur and Chiesa as stars of the new project that will extend their dominance in Italy. The Brazilian already has experience in Europe although he still has to prove. For the son of the Calcio legend, it is his first big challenge after winning at Fiorentina.

Both will be escorted by Kulusevski or Weston McKennie, younger than the previous ones and who play in a similar position. Pirlo has already opted for them in the first two league matches, showing that he is confident as a youth not only for the gallery.

With a system with three centers inspired by the one he played and stood out with Antonio Conte, the one who was a magnificent regista tries to direct operations from the outside with the same guarantees as from within. For now, all are tests in a transition that in turn demands victory.
