Juventus vs Dortmund: 5 Players To Watch
Henrikh Mkhitaryan is a player that has the pace and tactical awareness to cause a lot of troubles for Juventus in BVB’s 4-2-3-1 system. Here is a Juventus team that has show they are vulnerable to the counter-attack all season long and even despite those weaknesses they only managed to surrender a total of 13 goals all season. Mkhitaryan, the Armenian footballer of the year, will likely be lined up with the reckless, but sturdy Chiellini and if given any space to attack head-on will certainly be troubling the Juve final third at each given opportunity.
It appears Klopp will be partnering Mkhitaryan with Nuri Sahin and Ilkay Guendogan. This is a fast midfield that will be certain to cause Juventus troubles should they break through the more possessive and physical Juventus central players. Henrikh’s going to have to assert himself into this game early enough to ease the pressure off Marco Reus and Aubameyang at the front.
The most interesting aura surrounding this fine player is the ongoing transfer rumor that Juventus have made him a summer priority. This game is a prime audition for a player that will want to continue playing in Champions League next season and that’s something that looks bleak for BVB currently. There will be a big chip on his shoulder.
