#2 Blaise Matuidi
Against Napoli, Juventus were totally dominant in the first half, as they kept their visitors on the backfoot and imposed their will on the game.
Much of their dominance was down to the performance of Blaise Matuidi, as the French international was absolutely unplayable through the middle of the field.
The 32-year-old has made a name for himself over the years as one of the most efficient box-to-box midfielders, and he was at his tireless best against Napoli, dominating Piotr Zielinski and Allan in midfield, while also acting as an effective link-up man between the defense and attack.
A yellow card in the 52nd minute saw him reduce his tenacity a little in order not to get sent of, and this was partly one of the reasons why Napoli saw an improvement in their midfield application.
Despite the arrival of a number of new signings, Matuidi would once again play a crucial role for Juventus and he underlined this with another emphatic display against Napoli.
