Mourinho in the pre on the suspension of the disqualification
Mourinho a Dazn: “The suspension of the disqualification? There is a process going on and I don’t have to talk, I just want to work in peace. Today I’m with the team and I’m only interested in helping my team with the best possible result. Pellegrini? He has had some problems, he has played almost all the time, let’s see how he is and if he can go 90′, we also have an important match on Thursday, let’s see how he reacts. Dybala? There are players who play against former clubs and don’t suffer emotionally. I haven’t spoken to Paulo, he already played in Turin against Juve in the first leg, he has experience and I don’t think it’s a problem for him.”
20:25
Juventus manager Francesco Calvo a Dazn: “A match from inside or outside for the Champions League? It’s important, I don’t think from inside or outside, we look at two tables: one says that we are -9 from Roma, the other that we are 6 points ahead of Roma. Let’s think match by match , let’s think about winning tonight. Renewal Of Mary? He is a technical and locker room leader, we want to keep the important players, see the renewal of Danilo. We are talking, from time to time, we negotiate with the lights off but we are confident. Dybala? He was important for Juve, he’s a champion, but today he’s from Roma and we look to the present and future of Juve and we don’t look back. THE Dybala is asking for 3 million arrears? As an Italian who has lived abroad, I am surprised by this news on deeds that are covered by restrictions. The lawyers are dealing with it, but none of these acts have been examined by a judge”.

Mancini to Dazn in the pre-game: “We’re coming off a bad defeat, we’ve analyzed the mistakes, there’s the right balance in the dressing room and in Trigoria, we’ve prepared it in the best possible way. Are set pieces the winning weapon? You win on details, we’ll give it our all”. Also Rabiot intervened in Dazn: “Dybala? We know his left foot well, he’s deadly near the box, he shoots from outside, we have to defend well against him, but also against Abraham and Pellegrini, we have to be careful.”
