Jakarta –
Weston McKennie full play in the first match Juventus in the Italian League this season. Then, what to expect Andrea Pirlo of this player from the United States.
McKennie joined Juventus from Schalke 04 on a season-long loan. The Turin club paid 4.5 million euros to Schalke along with a purchase option of 18 million euros.
The 22-year-old midfielder has made his debut in a competitive match with Juventus. McKennie played the full game when Juventus beat Sampdoria at home, Monday (21/9/2020) early morning WIB.
McKennie’s appearance on the debut match can also be said to be very good. He was able to make four tackles, cut three times – the most with Danilo and Adrien rabiot–and make two sweeps. McKennie also became the second top scorer to fire (three) shots after Cristiano Ronaldo (10).
McKennie can also be said to be very mobile in the match against Sampdoria. Referring from heatmaps Whoscored, he was in almost the entire area of the field making 94 touches.

This is different from Rabiot, who is level with McKennie in midfield. Even with Aaron Ramsey more likely to focus more on helping attacks.
All of the opponent’s ball flows that McKennie managed to cut were in the center of the field, just like Rabiot’s. The combination of these two players is one of the factors in the Juventus defense that Sampdoria is difficult to penetrate.
When referring to the match against Sampdoria, Pirlo seems to rely on McKennie as a midfield fighter with Rabiot. Ramsey has a very clear role as a creator in midfield.
The Welsh midfielder has recorded six key passes and one assist against Sampdoria, the most of any Juve player. Ramsey also performed well with a record of six tackles, also being the most.
McKennie previously also played from the early minutes when Juventus conducted trials with Novara. He filled the midfield from the start as well as with Rabiot and Ramsey.
