The Turin-Spezia duel / The Dutchman replaced Bremer in the best possible way and will now have to contain the Ligurian’s top scorer
Everything is almost ready for Torino-Spezia, a match valid for the eighteenth matchday of Serie A. The results without major flaws for the grenades since their return after the World Cup break thanks to two draws in the league and the important cup victory against Milan. The same goes for the Aquilotti who, while waiting to fight for the place for the quarter-finals with Atalanta, will still rely on Nzola in the offensive department. Turin will respond with Schuurs to contain it and avoid damage. Thus the duel of the match is generated: top scorer against the defensive wall.
Schuurs, the great certainty of the grenade defense
Arrived in the summer, the Dutchman didn’t take much to regret the departure of the ex Toro Gleison Bremer. He managed to fit into Juric’s schemes in the best possible way, earning himself a starting position and the title of immovable defense. After the initial run-in, only a shoulder problem stopped him, resulting in an operation and recovery that arrived during the break. with his 191 cm in height, he has a powerful physique and a good reading of the game. He also often makes himself useful in the offensive phase with individual actions, which allowed him to score in the Cup. This mix of characteristics makes him indispensable for the Croatian coach, who will put him in front of a tough opponent.
Nzola, the flagship of the Juventus attack
We are talking about Nzola, the cornerstone of La Spezia, a club for which he has been playing for over two years. After the loan from Trapani and the failed redemption, he returned to the Ligurian club to stay there until now and confirming himself as absolute certainty for the Aquilotti attack. With his eight league goals, he is tied for second place with Arnautovic and Lautaro Martinez in the Serie A scorers chart. He also boasts two goals in the Cup, which make him one of the most profitable. The grenades have already been a victim of him in 2021, when in May he scored a heavy brace that is difficult to forget.
