"Weston McKennie is thrilled to be playing a more advanced role for Juventus, who are preparing to face Sassuolo in Serie A on Tuesday. Juventus are currently on a four-match unbeaten streak in the competition, but failed to make it four wins on the bounce last time out in a 1-1 draw with Lecce. McKennie scored Juve's equaliser in that match, but Jonathan David missed a second-half penalty that ultimately could have sealed all three points."
""You feel a bit down [after a result like the one against Lecce], a bit frustrated, but you can't dwell on missed chances. You have to keep moving forward. "The team played a good match; what was missing was the final pass. Anyone can miss a penalty. That's football - you have to move forward and focus on the next game.""
"Since his arrival at Sassuolo in 2022-23, Kristian Thorstvedt is one of only four foreign midfielders with 15 or more goals scored across Serie A and Serie B (17 - 10 in the top-flight, seven in the second tier), alongside Hakan Calhanoglu, Teun Koopmeiners and Nikola Vlasic. The Norwegian could score in consecutive top-flight matches for the second time in his career, the first since"
Weston McKennie is playing a more advanced role for Juventus ahead of the Serie A match against Sassuolo and expresses enthusiasm for the position. Juventus enter the game on a four-match unbeaten streak but drew 1-1 with Lecce, where McKennie scored and Jonathan David missed a second-half penalty. McKennie says he can play multiple roles, likes the trequartista role for its attacking and defensive balance, and urges the team to move on from missed chances while maintaining the right mentality. Juventus sit fourth in Serie A; Sassuolo are tenth and have struggled for consistent wins.
