Former Juventus player: Bremer s injury is a heavy blow to Tudor, but Rugani can temporarily replace him

October 16th Juventus star Roberto Gaglia was interviewed and talked about the replacement candidate after Bremer was injured, the comparison between Yildiz and Del Piero, the team's current problems and the January transfer market.

How worried are you about Juventus' defense after Bremer was injured?

There is no doubt that his injury is a heavy blow to Tudor, because Brehmer has character, understands the rhythm of the game, and can direct the defense and adjust the movement of the team. But compared to last year, there is now an additional solution: Rugani.

But Rugani lacks experience in consecutive games

I trust Rugani. I liked him and he always showed great reliability even though people rarely paid attention to him. In the past, he often served as a substitute because in front of him there were three championship-level players in Barzagli, Bonucci and Chiellini. They were the best defenders in the world at the time, otherwise Rugani would have played much more playing time at Juventus. He learned a lot from them, how to stay solid and clean in marking.

What do you think Juventus lacks to compete for the Serie A championship? Is Yildiz the new Del Piero?

Today's Juventus team is full of excellent players, but I can't see championship-level players in this team.

Yildiz? He has the potential to be a championship player. He has great talent and important technical abilities, but we can't expect him to always solve all the problems. We are talking about a 20-year-old in his second real season in Serie A.

I played at Juventus with the fledgling Del Piero. Are you talking about whether Yildiz is his successor? Judging from his movements and technical characteristics, he does look a lot like Del Piero. Today, Yildiz is the technical leader of the team, and in our time, we still had Baggio. I wish Yildiz could achieve even half of what Del Piero achieved. Having said that, the players who supported Del Piero back then were players of a completely different level than those in Juve's current lineup.

How can Juventus get rid of the current "draw cycle"?

Must find a fixed main lineup and make clear choices. If half the team is replaced every time, it will be difficult for the players to find chemistry and some kind of balance.

The January transfer window is not far away. What kind of players do you think the team needs to introduce?

I have seen reports that a right back and a midfielder are needed. They can certainly help functionally, but they must be players of character. To succeed at Juventus, character is crucial. Milinkovic? He can change the situation of the game in Serie A, but playing for Lazio and playing for Juventus are two different things...
