A notable choice has emerged from Juventus as they prepared for their Serie A opener against Como, with team captain Danilo starting the match on the bench. This decision raises eyebrows, not just because of the choice itself but also due to the context surrounding it. Danilo, a key figure for the club and a symbol of their new era, is surprisingly not in the starting lineup for such an important match.
According to reports, this was a technical decision, though it certainly feels unusual given Danilo’s status and leadership within the team. Despite the surprising development, there is no cause for concern regarding the player’s fitness or any external factors. It remains quite likely that Danilo will be called upon during the game, especially considering Juventus’ limited options in defense, which currently include just Bremer, Gatti, Cambiaso, Cabal, and Danilo himself, in addition to some youth players like Savona and Rouhi.
The sight of the captain starting the match on the bench sparks speculation, particularly in light of the team’s slim defensive roster. While there is no immediate panic, this decision could indicate a shift in strategy or roles within the squad as Juventus embarks on a new chapter in the league. Fans and analysts alike will be keen to monitor how this season unfolds for both Danilo and the club as a whole.
