The Spanish Álvaro Morata, the protagonist with a double and an assist this Saturday in Juventus' triumph against Lazio, did not hesitate to answer with “of course I'm going to see the derby” Atlético Madrid-Real Madrid, when asked about their plans for this Sunday afternoon.
“Of course I'm going to watch the derby. If they leave me at home I will watch it on television and if not I will watch it with my mobile“Morata, a former Madrid and Atlético double, assured the Italian television” DAZN “at the end of the Juventus duel. The Spanish striker was decisive for Juventus to come back to Lazio and he considered this triumph as a message from his team, currently third to seven points from the leadership, he will fight until the end for the title.
“Everyone expects us to fall and today was a very important game to say that we are here. As long as there are points we will fight. “Morata is being decisive for Juventus and is recovering his best form after living three weeks complicated by a series of physical and health problems.
“I spent three difficult weeks, it seemed that I had little strength in training, a tough period. I did not stop fighting, now I am recovering, I am better and I hope to continue growing, “he said. The assistance offered this Saturday to the Frenchman Adrien Rabiot was the eighth of his season and he had never worn these numbers, something that, he said, is due to the fact that he plays with the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, a “robot” and a scoring machine.
“When you play with the best striker in the history of football (Cristiano) you should think about giving him balls before scoring. When he wasn't there, one thought more about finishing, but he is a robot, you have to give him the ball because he always scores“, he assured.” I am happy to give assists. It's a good feeling (for the teammates who score), I like to score and I know what it feels like, “he added.
