Pirlo, blunt: “Cristiano has another year here and it is indisputable”

Andrea Pirlo knows that the game with Benevento is worth a lot. It is a huge opportunity to “put pressure on Inter”, since the Nerazzurri this Saturday will not play with Sassuolo due to their positives in COVID-19 and, with a win, the Turinese would be seven points behind the lead, with the same number of encounters (since they too must recover a clash, the one with Naples).

To the inevitable questions about the future of Cristiano, the coach was blunt: “He still has a year on his contract and we are happy that he can continue playing with us. We still do not think if next season we will use him in a different way, now we are focused In this season. Of course, he has scored a lot of goals and is indisputable “.

The 'Maestro' also spoke of Dybala's conditions, still out of combat due to his knee discomfort: “He is training, but without the ball. Hopefully he will come back after the break and be a great 'signing' for the final stretch it's from the season”.

This Sunday, against those of Pippo Inzaghi (“I have a lot of affection for him and he is proving to be a great coach”), Pirlo will once again align Kulusevski, Chiesa, Morata and Cristiano together: “I liked them, if they all sacrifice in both phases everything is easier “.
