Rebound or sink. Randal Kolo Muani has obviously made its choice. By joining Juventus Turin this week, the tricolor international has offered a new luxury challenge: to succeed in a European top club, after having taken their feet in the carpet at PSG. “We chatted for a long time with the coach (Motta), he explained his philosophy to me in detail and convinced me to sign for Juve. Serie A? I can't wait to rub it ”he confided, in essence, to the microphones of his club this week.
Thiago Motta immediately reached his request, since he had chosen to set him out this evening for the Salie A Facing Choc Face in Naples, leader of the championship and on a series of 6 victories. A big piece, but Kolo Muani saw others in his career, like turning a very, very poorly embarked World Cup. It was therefore with his usual carelessness and lightness that the Bondy native approached this match, on which he quickly set his signature. From the outset, he alternated pleasures and dangers, as on this clever leaving for Yildiz, which would have deserved better finish (12th).
It took him less than a half to mark
Very legs for a player who had not played for almost two months, Kolo Muani even offered himself his first goal since his double against Belgium in mid-October. And with the way: a superb volley after having flared the bad dismissal of the Neapolitan defense in its surface (43rd). We measured him in his celebration, this goal was a real bowl of fresh air, and Thiago Motta greeted his performance after the meeting: “I saw it very well, proactive. We all agreed with the club that he was a player capable of helping us. In the future, I hope he will continue like that ”.
Even in a second period overall dominated by the Neapolitans, we felt Di Lorenzo and Rrahmani each time on the heels when defending on French, finally replaced at the end of the game by Vlahovic (82nd), but which will make you want be revised to Turin supporters. “We did not lack personality, on the contrary, we showed it a lot in first half by playing a very good football and putting our opponents in difficulty with the ball”explained Motta after the meeting. He will be able to count on Kolo Muani to bring this additional personality. He is capable of it and proved this Saturday.
