  "account": "Juventus striker Kolo Muani, who recently returned to the club on a permanent basis from PSG, is still waiting to score goals for the team after a frustrating start. The Frenchman had an impressive loan spell in the second half of the 2024/2025 season and was keen to return to Juventus, even closing the door on leaving Paris unless the move was to the Turin club. Despite his lack of goals so far, manager Luciano Spalletti remains confident in Muani's abilities and insists the team needs to create more chances for him to score. Spalletti wants the team to play the ball more to Kolo Muani, especially when the midfield is occupied, in order to keep him involved and reverse the opponents' pressure.

Spalletti has shown his continued support for Muani, stating that he will be on his side until the end of the season.",
