Matuidi as a holding mid is a terrible idea imo. Our build-up play would be terrible with him in there. Thankfully Maurizio will never play him in that position.
i'd rather this soulless, tired juve get cheered by 40k fans (or at least some of them) and inda by conte than juve get cheered by poor lonely maurice trying to shout his lungs out.
Makes perfect sense from the marketing perspective for the entire Serie A. Also, Inter will benefit from this decision too (a defeat tonight would mean they are essentially out of the title race, now they will have a chance to stay in it until the very end).
