Juventus fell 1-0 to Cremonese in what appears to be a pre-season or friendly match, but the more notable element was head coach Luciano Spalletti's decision to test Andrea Cambiaso in an unfamiliar position. The experiment suggests Spalletti is still refining his tactical setup ahead of the competitive season, evaluating whether Cambiaso can operate in a different role than his usual left-back or wing-back position. The result is secondary to the tactical insight Spalletti gains from the outing.

Cambiaso, primarily known as a left-sided defender, being trialled elsewhere points to either a squad reshuffle or an attempt to maximize his versatility.
