Matthijs de Ligt left Juventus in the summer and the Bianconeri replaced him with Gleison Bremer from Torino.
The Dutchman had been one of their key men and joined as one of the best young defenders in the world.
The Bianconeri wanted to keep him after losing Giorgio Chiellini, but De Ligt was keen on leaving and left the club to join Bayern Munich in a big-money transfer.
Juve replaced him with Bremer, who has been ever-present in their team this season.
The Brazilian is superb and even made his country’s squad for the World Cup despite just playing a game for them before the competition.
The Netherlands faced Senegal in their World Cup opener yesterday and beat the African nation 2-0.
It was an undeserved defeat for the Africans who troubled the Dutchmen and one man that struggled, especially in the first half was De Ligt.
A report on Football Italia says Juventus fans responded to his performance by being thankful that he left and was replaced with Bremer.
Juve FC Says
De Ligt is a fine defender, but Bremer has been superb and ensured we didn’t miss the Dutchman, who we can argue was overrated.
Hopefully, Bremer will star for his country in this competition and return with a winners medal.
Bremer is by far better. I honestly never think about is losing De Light. We are by far better without him
De Light talks to much with his mouth and does to little with his feet.
the fact some `fans` actively celebrate when the player has left and is not doing well is absolute banter. Bremer is excellent and a solid replacement and he was right to leave for us as he was too expensive and wanted to go, and for himself as he has proper training and positive tactics, and is still in the Champion`s league and World Cup. He was right about allegri and the rest, but Brand Fans will celebrate any small failure as he DARED to speak. #BanterEra
I never understood spending 80+ M for DL…not a smart move to spend so much on a Raiola’s client …Romero should have been given a chance…having said that, I believe we should have got more for DL..should have milked a PL club
