Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti praised John Lucmi for his 'energy' and Guglielmo Vicario as a 'top goalkeeper'. He also explained why Juventus considered Alisson Becker and Emiliano Martínez in the first place. Spalletti shared these thoughts when speaking to reporters after the final pre-season test against the youth team.

His senior team led 2–0 in the first half, with goals from Francisco Conceição and Weston McKennie. But the focus of reporters was on new players who had not yet joined the team, including ex-Bologna defender Lucumi and Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Vicario.

Spalletti said, "Lukumi has that energy, that physicality that we really need. It's a very South American thing, it's called garra, where character impacts the game." Vicario completed medical tests today and finalized a one-season loan deal from Tottenham, which includes a purchase option worth €8 million.

Spalletti said of Vicario, "Vicario is a mature, intelligent, professional player. He is a player who thinks about the game even in his spare time." He also said, "Some other players take their profession lightly, but Vicario is one of those players who is committed. He has experienced the right development process."

When asked why Juventus considered Alisson and Martínez, Spalletti said, "We probably thought that with more experienced players like Alisson and Martínez, they would bring something more, but Vicario has also won tournaments. He has had foreign experience at an important club, so he is at the same level."

Spalletti also welcomed new players such as Kerim Alajbigovic and Randal Kolo Muani who joined the team this summer. He said, "I faced Kolo Muani in the Champions League when I was at Naples and appreciated his characteristics. He is a complete striker, who attacks space, works with the team, is fast, technical, and he has almost everything." Regarding Alajbigovic, he said, "He has creativity and quality, he is fantastic to watch. We have to see how solid he can be in his performances, because he has great feet and can play in different roles.

What will happen next

Vicario joining Juventus from Tottenham is an important move for the Serie A club, strengthening their goalkeeping position. The contribution of Lucmi and Vicario to Spalletti's plan could enhance Juventus' performance in the upcoming matches. The focus will be on the overall condition of the team with these new players during the season.
