Andrea Pirlo and Giorgio Chiellini are speaking at the press conference. TuttoJuve.com is following the event live.
You have had an understanding with Bonucci for a long time, now Danilo has joined you. What can you tell us about it?
“The players have changed but I don’t see big differences from the past except a normal change of players”.
How long does this Juventus need to find its own physiognomy?
“We have not yet had the opportunity to work all together and these weeks show it, the important thing is to keep working and to amalgamate more and more with the newcomers but we must win this is the important thing. I don’t know when it will take to see the team at their best, but tomorrow evening it will be very important to get a result. ”
What new element does this Champions bring? Can it be said that you are not among the very first contenders for the Champions League?
“Every season we start to win the Champions League, we are not particularly interested in being in the first list of the favorites. We are aware of the changes but there is great will and conviction to be able to aspire to great goals that only time will reveal. it is important to improve, grow and achieve results “.
What comes to your mind when you think of Ukraine?
“In Ukraine we have pleasant memories for the 2012 European Championship, we lost in the final but getting to the end was very nice and we hope to have good memories for tomorrow’s match.”
Giorgio Chiellini’s press conference is over, now Andrea Pirlo is speaking.
What do you plan to do to win tomorrow’s game? What can you tell us about the challenge with Lucescu?
“I will do the same things that Lucescu will do with his parents, I will sleep, eat and come here to the stadium for the match, I will no longer play the game but I will not change my habits. As regards Lucesco was my first coach, he took me to the top team and made me debut. I have a wonderful memory of him and I will always be grateful to him and tomorrow we will have the opportunity to compete on this field. “
Who can replace Ronaldo?
“Cristiano Ronaldo will unfortunately be absent, but we have other players like Morata who can play in his place. We will decide the rest of the attack tomorrow.”
Are you excited about your first international experience as a manager?
“I am calm because unfortunately I can no longer play. I am calm, the first match is essential, it is important to win it to have more security for the continuation of the Cup”.
If he doesn’t play Dybala do you think he could be a destabilizing factor? Could the lack of a director affect this?
“As for Dybala, he came from a week where he had problems in the national team, I took him to Crotone to put minutes in his legs, but it was not possible to insert him. He is available and we will see what to do. Mancini manages to get two directors to play, we have 4 midfielders who are neither directors nor midfielders and the two-man midfield is the ideal solution for us. “
What match will it be against Lucescu? How’s Ramsey?
“Ramsey is better and we hope to have him available. On Lucescu I answered earlier, he is a very experienced coach who I know very well, but everyone has his own ideas and we will try to put ourselves in difficulty as with any coach.”
On Saturday night he said you will win the Scudetto, could you say you can win the Champions League?
“I never said we will win the Scudetto, but we are a team built to win as Juve has always been. We play to win in all competitions. The two away games in Rome and Crotone cost us four points, but we are one team under construction and we have to work and grow to show what we feel during the week. “
Where do you think Dybala can play? Could it be an alternative to Ramsey? Could you do some turnover?
“Dybala I don’t find out for sure, he’s not playing because he’s never been well and he’s not in top condition yet. Good players can play anywhere, he’s a striker and he has to be close to goal or between the lines. Tomorrow. who is better off will play and we have the right players to have a great match. “
