Igor Tudor: Players coming off the bench can also play a key role


Juventus will travel to Verona for a crucial match on the fourth round of the 2025/26 Serie A season. Juventus coach Igor Tudor stated in an interview that he values all his players and insisted that any substitutes are capable of playing a significant role.


In the last round of Serie A, Juventus defeated Inter Milan 4-3 after goals from Lloyd Kelly, Yildiz, Kevren Thuram and Azic, achieving three consecutive wins.


It is worth mentioning that in the first round of the UEFA Champions League earlier, Juventus drew 4-4 with Dortmund from the top of Germany after falling behind with goals from Yildiz, Vlahovic and Lloyd Kelly.


Juventus coach Igor Tudor said, “The last two games are in the past, and our focus will now only be on the game against Verona. We did play two very intense games recently, against Inter Milan and Dortmund, and this is the first time we have played three games in eight days, but all of us will only focus on the next game.”


"We can't make excuses, we won't make excuses, and the key to tomorrow's game is mental clarity. If we give our all and play at our best, we can win. If the mentality and focus aren't there, then we'll be in trouble."


As for the team's lineup, Igor Tudor said, "All players can play, as I have always told them, they are all starters in my eyes, because even the players who come on the bench can play a key role. There are now five substitutions, and the game is often decided in the last minute. We have shown this against Inter Milan and Dortmund. Conceicao and Zegrova can't play the full 90 minutes yet, but they are very valuable. Zegrova has not accumulated much game time yet, and we will evaluate the situation and make arrangements."


"There's also Lloyd Kelly. The outside world's evaluations of him lack objectivity and are often too hasty. Now, because he scored two goals, the outside world thinks he's a completely different player, but in fact, he's been the same person since I arrived. He's humble, serious, and eager to learn. He's made very few mistakes since I took over, and he still has a lot of room for improvement."


Igor Tudor continued, "Di Gregorio is an excellent goalkeeper and has made very few mistakes since I arrived. Vlahovic is now less lost in his own thoughts and more focused, which is crucial for him to perform at his highest level and realize his full potential."


"Juan Cavale is also improving physically, a player I admire who can play in multiple positions. He is very important for me and I know the team can rely on him."
