Since Sunday evening, Juventus has changed its face. Barely arrived in Turin, Igor Tudor immediately set to work, without announcement effects but with clear ideas. According to the first echoes relayed by the Italian press, the Croatian technician was quick to lay the foundations for what he wants to establish in the coming weeks, with a qualification for the Champions League.

Here are the Five major resolutions Taken from his first days at the club:

1. Change the mentality of the locker room

First observation of the new coach: the group is apathetic, emptied mentally, marked by the last weeks of Thiago Motta and a Dull Spring. Tudor wants to shake up habits, restore meaning to daily effort. He demands maximum involvement in training, and impeccable attitudes, in the idea of ​​finding a culture of the win. He speaks of collective energy, concentration, rigor: this is where reconstruction begins.

2. Return to a three -time defense

It is a tactical signature of Tudor: the defense with three, successfully tested in Marseille, Verona or Lazio. From the first sessions, he oriented his work in this direction. This would make it possible to better structure the rearguard and to enhance profiles like Bremer, Danilo or Cambaso. This system also offers more freedom to pistons and would allow us to find a more compact, better organized team capable of defending higher.

3. Refocus the project around Vlahović

The message is clear: Tudor wants to make Vlahović his strong man. The Serbian striker, in difficulty for several months, is at the center of the project. Tudor wants to refocus it in the game, to play it closer to the goal, better surrounded, with systems that serve it. Objective: to find a decisive and involved goalscorer in offensive actions, capable of carrying the team in the Champions League. The coach has clearly targeted it as the key player of the final stretch.

Mentality, Vlahović, defense to three … Tudor imposes his rules

4. Back on youth and creativity

Tudor has always given importance to young people. At Juve, he intends to relaunch promising but marginalized profiles, such as Kenan Yildiz, Kolo Muani, even Weah. He wants more mobility, spontaneity in the last 30 meters. This choice is also a message: the hierarchy is not frozen. The most deserving will play. Tudor relies on the intensity and insolence of young people to restore freshness to a sometimes sterile collective.

5. Reconnect the dialogue with the locker room

Finally, Tudor wants to establish a strong link with his players, in a direct and human mode. Like Antonio Conte, of which he shares certain values, he intends to fully reinvest the locker room. Individual meetings, free exchanges, presence on the ground: everything is done to remove a group dynamic. He knows that success will also go through a fine psychological management of a weakened workforce. He wants to speak, listen, and above all to collect.

The Tudor era begins with clear ideas, strong decisions and an assertive will to restore Juventus a CAP, a style, and an ambition up to its status.
