Juventus coach Igor Tudor spoke about several individual players during his press conference ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup match against Manchester City.
Tudor commented on **Kenan Yildiz**, stating that he is playing very well and has the right mindset. He loves football, and everything else follows from that. Tudor highlighted that while Yildiz`s skills are clear for everyone to see, the key is his desire to always do his best and give everything. He pushes from the first minute to the last in both games and training, never holding back. Tudor described this quality as beautiful and rare. He added that while goalscorers naturally stand out, many players are performing very well, specifically mentioning that **Lilian Thuram** has played some very high-level matches, and that **Francisco Conceicao, Randal Kolo Muani, and Alberto** all had two excellent games.
Continuing, the Juventus coach discussed **Lorenzo Savona**, saying he is doing well in the position he has been deployed in. Tudor noted that Savona needs to gain some weight and strength to handle certain situations, which they are working on. However, he stressed the many positives: Savona is dedicated, professional, possesses great footballing intelligence, understands what is happening on the pitch, and has important speed. He has numerous qualities, is a humble young man, and is willing to listen. Tudor feels these values, which can seem obvious but are not at all, are precious in Savona, especially as they are becoming less common.
Regarding **Filip Kostic**, Tudor called him a “nice surprise.” Having not coached him before, Tudor believes Kostic is a player who can do well in his preferred style of football. He described Kostic as always available, professional, having good stamina and technique. He applies himself well and already knows the group. Tudor concluded by saying he likes Kostic.
