Pepe Returns.....after A YEAR Out of the Game

There he is! I thought the Martians had taken him away! There were times where I was thinking he had retired, or was not being played, but I could not find him anywhere. Finally, after a YEAR away, Pepe has returned, helping Juventus to a Coppa Italia win, and Conte will NEED him to fight off their challengers for the scudetto.






Juventus have been missing REAL wingers, having to use Pogba in that situation which has not worked well, although he is so good he has been effective there. But a natural winger is a natural winger. Pepe has been REALLY missing for Juventus. His ability to get down that flank, work hard, and force off a cross is paramount to Juventus playing. Also, with the aerial strength that Llorente possesses, it will be perfect for Juventus and it will only make them even more dangerous as they continue to pull away from Roma and Napoli.
 I am happy for Pepe as an injury, a long one especially, damages you mentally. It's all about putting those dark thoughts that you can never get back and even when you do, the doubts of being any good again. Pepe must now work even harder to get as sharp as he was before. On his best day, he is an extremely effective winger. He just needs to clean up his dribbling and control, to be more precise and balanced when he runs with the ball. Hopefully, Pepe can have a good season and maybe the amazing can happen and against all odds, he can just about squeeze into the Prandelli squad.
