#5 Renewing the hunger in the squad
With moving on players like Andrea Pirlo, Arturo Vidal, Carlos Tevez and Paul Pogba while bringing in fresh faces, Juve are making sure they have enough hunger and drive in their unit. The former are players who all won Serie A multiple times with Juve, while Higuain, Pjanic, Benatia and Pjaca are players extremely hungry for trophies.
Juve’s priorities will, of course, lie in European Competition, but performing well in the Champions League isn’t just a switch you can turn on and off between domestic competitions. Juve have to head into their entire season full of drive and yearning and to make sure the composition of their team keeps getting freshened up is vital.
This was a critical aspect of how Sir Alex Ferguson could win so many trophies with Manchester United and still start a new season with just as much drive and resilience. So while Pogba is eager to leave for new challenges, the players Juve are bringing in (Higuain and Pjanic especially) will be thrilled even just with domestic success.
