Spalletti offers all Juventus players chances during pre-season matches

Summary

Luciano Spalletti has adopted an inclusive approach with Juventus, giving all players opportunities to showcase their abilities during pre-season. This contrasts with former manager Thiago Motta's strategy of excluding certain players from his plans. Spalletti aims to assess the full squad before making decisions about unwanted players, as Juventus faces challenges in offloading those not fitting into current plans. A fresh evaluation process is seen as an effort to avoid premature judgments on player capabilities.
