Juventus: 5 players who must shine in Coppa Italia vs. Milan
Juventus CF Paulo Dybala
Like Cristiano Ronaldo, Paulo Dybala will be tasked with having a big performance against Milan on Friday, and if Ronaldo is the most important player to Juventus in 2019-2020, then Dybala has to be considered second.
Having recovered from COVID-19, Dybala will look to continue his excellent 2019-2020 season. He’s capable of scoring some of the prettiest goals in world football with his creativity and technical quality, and Dybala isn’t half bad at creating chances for others either.
Milan have two good center backs in Alessio Romagnoli and Simon Kjaer, so Dybala’s tenacity and vision will be tested on Friday night at the Allianz Stadium.
Juventus RB Juan Cuadrado
In addition to helping Juve defeat a Milan attack that is full of creative and roaming players, such as the ultra-athletic Ante Rebic leading the line, Juan Cuadardo must provide copious service to Juve’s front three.
Cuadrado and Douglas Costa will form deadly combinations on the right-hand side of Juve’s attack, and look for Cuadrado to supply Paulo Dybala with a variety of balls. His crosses to Cristiano Ronaldo at the back post could yield crucial opportunities for the Portuguese captain.
One of the most underrated players in world football, Cuadrado could have a Man of the Match performance in this semifinal clash.
