Juventus Coach Compares DFB Striker to His Horse

DFB striker Nick Woltemade (24) moved from Jaissle-club Newcastle United to Juventus Turin on loan in the summer.

His new coach Luciano Spalletti now provides an interesting comparison. The Juve coach describes his new signing to "Tuttosport" with the words: "I have a Friesian horse – and he reminds me a lot of it. He is statuesque, looks physically somewhat intimidating, but then again he is very kind and likes to be petted and ridden."

Full Confidence in Kolo Muani

Woltemade can also be deployed both wide and deep. However, the German is likely to primarily come off the bench. In the 1-1 draw against Milan, he came on in the final phase and won the free-kick that led to the equaliser.

However, the number one striker Randal Kolo Muani (27), who is still goalless after three games, continues to enjoy great confidence. "Woltemade is strong in the air, you can use him as a solution. I am still relying on Kolo Muani. In the end, we will see where this path leads us. I will stick with it until the end of the season," said the Juve coach after the match on "DAZN".
