What an odd thing to say.
It's worth remembering that when Llorente is surrounded by defenders, he is surrounded by defenders.
To a fairly significant extent, drawing defenders in means that he is doing his job as that means there must be space somewhere else for Juve to exploit.
You can see it working well at about 40 seconds:

1st half horrible, second one pretty good.
The 1st half looked like Conte's Juve last season. So much pressure on the players and they were very nervous. It doesn't matter how or when, just move it forward as fast as possible and let Tevez worry about the rest. In the second half it looked much better, finally the players went out to play football. I have to admit Allegri's mark is already visible on this team and to my surprise he (IMO) improved Conte's 352 which I'd have never thought would be possible. Props to Allegri as I saw him as huge downgrade to Conte at first. So far he's focused on the most important things this team is lacking: possession, attacking, pace and passing.
It was all enough to win last night but Allegri has to think of something better for the next games. This Juve has to play faster and more direct in attack while not dropping back to deep defense while losing possession. Otherwise Atletico will eat us alive. Hopefully Barzagli comes back soon enough to try out the '4-3-something'. At the moment the 'something' I think should contain a trident of Tevez - Llorente/Morata - Pereyra. The rest is pretty obvious.
