Juventus signed Koopmeiners with the arrogance that he would add high quality and depth to their midfield. Nonetheless, the transition to his new membership has been removed from easy. Whereas most gamers require time to adapt to a distinct system and teammates, the 26-year-old seems to be taking longer than anticipated. His performances have been uninspiring, and his influence on video games has been minimal, as seen in Juventus’ latest draw in opposition to Venezia, the place he was largely ineffective.

A rising debate has emerged round whether or not Juventus is utilising Koopmeiners appropriately. The Dutchman has continuously been deployed in a sophisticated function behind the striker, a place that Marocchi believes doesn’t swimsuit his strengths. In line with Marocchi, Koopmeiners could be more practical taking part in deeper in midfield, the place he can have a freer function and affect the sport from central areas. Chatting with Tuttomercatoweb, Marocchi stated:
“They misplaced the power to recuperate the ball within the opponent’s space, one thing that they had initially of the season. I might have put McKennie additional ahead and Koopmeiners in midfield, the place he appears freer to behave.”
This tactical misstep could possibly be a key think about why Koopmeiners has failed to copy his Atalanta type at Juventus. His incapability to combine successfully together with his teammates has raised issues, and his present performances supply little cause for optimism. Except Juventus reconsiders how finest to utilise him, it’s troublesome to see Koopmeiners enhancing within the close to future.
