Daniele Rugani believes the new 4-2-3-1 Juventus formation works well, and gives more passing options in defence.
The defender also spoke of his patience in order to recieve a start in the Champions League, after he scored against Dinamo Zagreb in the group stage.
"Will I be on the bench in the Champions League? The Coach makes choices, and when I called I always try to do my best," the 22-year-old told Tuttosport. "I certainly don’t wish that Leonardo [Bonucci] is on the bench again because to wish bad luck onto others is not my style.

"Do I think about the fact that I might have started more for another team? No, I do not think about it because I'm happy to be here and to play for Juve, I’m creating my own path and one day I’ll have a starting place at Juventus.
"I feel like a Juventus player, one of whom you can trust when sent onto the pitch.
"From whom have I learned this? I’ve picked up a bit of everything from everyone: a little bit here and there from all my teammates is helping me grow. I am still young and I think I have room for improvement.
"The way we defend has changed a little bit, we have more passing options and more solutions and these help us play maybe even a bit better.
"But fortunately these things, and the fact we are a big squad, give us a hand. And as long as they have the will to sacrifice for the strength of the team, for us defenders there is a big advantage.
"Playing four does not always give you cover behind the central defenders, so maybe you have to venture forward less, take a few less risks.
"But beyond this I think this is a formation with which we are defending well, at least from the results that we are getting and the very few goals we have conceded. So, we’re fine as we are."
