Juventus look to Koopmeiners for inspiration as Spalletti helps midfielder find form Teun Koopmeiners has finally rediscovered his best form at Juventus, and Luciano Spalletti is counting on him to help the Bianconeri find consistency after the international break. As noted by TuttoMercatoWeb , the Dutchman has been one of the few positives in recent weeks. After a long spell in which he struggled to make an impact, he looks more confident and involved, and he has made decisive contributions in recent games. He has won back his place in the starting XI.

Juventus need more players stepping up. Since the October break, they have won four, drawn three and lost two of their nine games across all competitions, but only two of those wins have come in six Serie A games. They’re seventh, well short of the Champions League places.
