Edon Zhegrova Seeks Form with Kosovo National Team
The international break is proving beneficial for Juventus, particularly for winger Edon Zhegrova. He needed playing time and consistency after a period of physical limitations impacted his performance. With Kosovo, those positive signs are emerging.
Zhegrova Finally Takes Center Stage
In the first match against Ireland, Zhegrova started and played 72 minutes, marking his return to a starting role with his national team after a long hiatus. This is significant from an athletic standpoint. He showcased his familiar skills: strong one-on-one ability, completing five out of nine attempted dribbles, and initiating several offensive plays, though he also lost possession a few times. Against Austria, he came off the bench and scored. So far, he has accumulated 118 minutes and one goal.
Good News for Spalletti
For Juventus, his physical condition is the key takeaway. Zhegrova needs consistent minutes to regain his rhythm, explosiveness, and confidence. When fit, he is one of the few players on the squad capable of creating numerical superiority through dribbling. Kosovo is providing him with playing time and responsibility, which should satisfy Spalletti.
Zhegrova has three more fixtures: Israel on October 1st and Austria on October 4th are the next scheduled games.
If he returns to Turin with more match fitness and no physical issues, Juventus could see a significantly more prepared Zhegrova after the break.
