Could a Juventus Tevez/Giovinco partnership be the preferred weapon of choice for Conte after Copenhagen staelmate?


 Juventus did all they could. They used all their powers, but on the night they just came up against a keeper that was LETTING NOTHING THROUGH. It's not a great result, but looking at how Galatasaray fell to Madrid, Juventus should be fine enough to go through peacefully. But what caught my eye, was a possible exciting partnership in the shape of Giovinco and Tevez.

Tevez has already shown that his sharpness and ability to get the ball moving to the wings and facilitating attacks is what Argentina will need. But I think with Giovinco, there was a real danger and penetration and quickness that was missing especially during Juventus's second leg tie against Bayern last season. I feel Conte needs to try this partnership and stop relying on the impact substitution that Giovinco seems to constantly be used for.

The boy needs games and the MORE he plays, the better he will get at dribbling and beating players. His stint at Parma was great and he showed his great skill. Always fear the smaller players who have a lower center of gravity. Just ask Maradona and Okocha and they will tell you. Giovinco can really be a great player for Juve and Italy, but the less he plays, the less likely this potential will be fulfilled.

Juventus were really unlucky against Copenhagen who have to be commended for their bravery for standing up to great Italian team. Conte has to now look forward to Galatasaray in Turkey as well as the matches against Madrid. A Tevez and Giovinco link-up would give Pepe and Ramos true fears with their speed and sharpness. I'm loving how quickly Tevez has fit into the team and I think him and Giovinco could really work well. With Giovinco's direct bursting energy and skill with Tevez's intelligence and movement with the ball will greatly advance Juventus's attack.
