THE WORDS IN THE CONFERENCE
That Juve will have to take the field in Bergamo?We will have to be aware of the importance of the challenge. After the direct clashes of this round, tomorrow night we will know more about the Champions League quota.
How do you solve the issue of the boys called up for the U20 World Championship?It's a privilege for the club. Soulé will leave after Cremona, while Iling Jr will stay here with us. Miretti was not asked at the moment.
Does Vlahovic need continuity? Di Maria is to be managed?I haven't decided anything for the attack yet because Kean also came back after a month of inactivity. Milik and Vlahovic are fine, but we have a game every 4 days but as always I will need those who start but also those who take over.
How does your team make you confident?Aside from some difficulties in the last period, I have always had confidence in the team. We are fine and we are in a fight, but you have to take one step at a time before looking at the ranking. Then we will dive into the Europa League. Now head to Atalanta, which at home is a strong team and with physicality, they are on the rise and we haven't beaten them for six games. They fight for the Champions League like us and it will be difficult.
Would Giuntoli be enough to return to success?There are 30 important days left until the end of the season. On June 5th, the company will decide what to do at 360 degrees, but until the end of the season it is useless to talk about what can or cannot be. The choice of the sports director is not up to me, it's up to the company.
What did Napoli have extra?He proved to be stronger. Then every season is its own, but Napoli deserved this Scudetto in the numbers and I congratulate him again.
Can Pogba start from the beginning?He had a good 20 minutes against Lecce, but for him this was a cursed season for all the half injuries. I have to use it in the best possible way to give the team a hand because now the goal is to get into the top four. There are five games left and I have to make the best choices. Next year we will see what it will be, but now we are focused on what we need to do and personal goals today do not matter. Everyone has to be found ready, who makes 1 minute and who makes 90.
What more does Juventus have in the fight against the Champions League?All I know is that we are trying to make the points we need to get to the top four and there are direct clashes that will condition the ranking. At the moment to 73 points you qualify mathematically, then based on the results of direct clashes you can lower.
Did the Napoli party point you in pride?The team is always proud when you don't win the championship. Next year we have to get back to being competitive for the Scudetto after three years in which we haven't been. Seeing others win obviously makes you want to.
