MiTi: Bremer s injury brings new opportunities to the 31-year-old Rugani, who is Juventus main substitute

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Bremer's injury gave Rugani a new opportunity.

The story between Rugani and Juventus is full of repeated pulls. He was rumored to leave the team countless times, but in the end he stayed and entered the last year of his contract. But he never imagined that just two months later, he would become important to a club that was once prepared to say goodbye to him.

All this is due to Bremer's new injury. This change has opened up a new situation on the defensive line, and the available central defender replacement is almost only the 31-year-old Rugani.

Why Rugani?

Juventus' bench depth is already limited, and now Rugani's importance has also increased. Because he is familiar with the team and Tudor's tactical system; because he is still an important presence in the locker room; and because there is no suitable offer. In the context of the player himself clearly stating that he was "willing to stay even if there are very few opportunities to play", the club decided to let him fulfill the last year of his contract with Juventus.

The last time he renewed his contract, Rugani took the initiative to accept a salary cut. If the two parties believe there is room for continued cooperation, it is not ruled out that a similar situation will happen again in the future. Rugani expressed his willingness to talk, and the club is also evaluating the possibility.

Bremer's injury

Bremer's injury gave Rugani a chance to play in Serie A and the Champions League. At the same time, Tudor insisted on using Kalulu as the right wing-back. He obviously lacked confidence in Mario, which further reduced the selection of central defender rotation.

Gatti's alternative at the beginning of the season, playing as a central defender, did not bring about the ideal results. Now, Rugani once again has an opportunity to add to his almost "indefinite" and rather strange Juventus career.
