Andrea Pirlo, the new Juventus coach, offered his first press conference as a coach of the ‘vecchia signora’ on Tuesday. Pirlo confirmed the departure of Gonzalo Higuaín (“the roads must be divided”), spoke about how he wants his Juventus to be and said that Paulo Dybala is not in the market.
“I want to bring enthusiasm, which has been lacking in recent times. I want a football that proposes things, of possession of the ball and, when we lose it, recover it quickly, said this legend of Juventus, Milan and Italy, now on the Juventus bench to replace the dismissed Maurizio Sarri.
On who will be the new Pirlo: “We have many great players but none with my characteristics. Arthur is a great player, we have seen and admired him with Barcelona in recent years and with Brazil, he can play in the middle or at the midfield. In the construction phase it can cover more roles, like all quality players ”.
On Cristiano Ronaldo and Dybala: “I spoke with Cristiano a few days ago and then yesterday with the others. We will have time to talk about the technical aspects. Dybala has never been on the market, it is part of the project, for me it is important like everyone else ”.
On Higuaín: “I have spoken with him, I admire him very much, but we have decided that the paths should separate. Khedira is injured, we'll see when he's better ”.
