We have quality to have a great season but we have to play them from the beginning. field from the first minute to the last. There are too many negative situations. We have to work and rediscover the humility of the winning seasons. Only with the group can we find the path that corresponds to Juve. You cannot see Juve until now. We want to look beyond, to the future, with positivity “

We are here to take home the victory because it would allow us to look forward to the next games with hope and positivity. “

I have also had discussions with other coaches and this does not change based on the name of the coach. There must be discussions because those who want to improve are ready to argue, and this also happened with the coach 4 years ago. Despite what was a disturbing element for everyone, I say that I am the one who played with him the most. We must have the obligation to give the best version of ourselves. I have almost 500 games in Juve, there is a captain who wears the armband and another who does not. I feel responsible and he asked me to come here because I am responsible and I put on my face like I have done other times in the past. “

As if there was a conversation with Szczesny after the Naples game said: “After Napoli, the coach spoke and we thought about training. Tek has lived through difficult moments but he only thinks about working and we all have to do that. We have to be focused and calm because this moment will pass and we will have to be fine.”
