MONTECARLO (MONACO) (ITALPRESS) – Play-off qualification is already safe, but you can also get more. The direct pass for the eighths could arrive tomorrow in the last match of Champions in the home of Monaco and the Juventus of Luciano Spalletti, who is experiencing a great moment, believes us.
“There is no better situation than this to prove our value – explains the Bianconero technician to Sky Sport microphones and on the eve of the Monte Carlo match –. You go to play without the qualification assemblies and without the tension of the result, so you can see at what level we are also from the mental point of view in putting in place our qualities and our level of football”.
The Principality’s club needs to move the ranks to make sure the play-offs. “They won’t make calculations, they will come on us to win, they can’t afford to hold it in the balance until the last and risk being out, but we also go to the field to win in order to hope in something more than the play-offs. It will be a very open game – says Spalletti -, against a very strong team and with top-level individuality, you will have to be more team of them because they have in some super quality footballer, we have to hold ball because they have physicality, race, all things that can come against us if we do not do the performance you need”.
Training chapter, the Bianconero technician gives several straights on the 11th that will clear tomorrow in the field. “Any footballer we will change, we played two days ago, we will play tomorrow and then between two more days and we have the opportunity to give space to those who are training seriously and then play less. Koopmeiners will play in midfield, then in defense I have to do some evaluations on Bremer, also depends on Gatti who probably does not yet have the 100 minutes on the legs and therefore it is possible that there will be a relay among them. Yildiz? In attack I can say that it will start from the beginning Openda”.
There is no room for controversy with Antonio Conte. “If these are themes from the Champions League… What are we talking about? Let’s go ahead”, asks the Juventus coach who, in an Instagram post, gave the real indirect answer, posting an interview where he defines Naples “The best team of all, the champions of Italy”.
At the press conference also Teun Koopmeiners. “I feel good, it is a very important game for us, for the classification and for the moral, at the end of the race we will see if we will be at the play-offs or the eighth. With Spalletti I played so many minutes, maybe a little less in the last games, but I am happy, he knows me, he knows that I played in Holland as a central defender, I did it with him as well as I played midfield and I think I did well with the mister. Also the game tomorrow, as well as every workout, is important to give a signal to the mister that I can help the team, it is for me as for all the other players”, added the Dutch midfielder who years ago strongly wanted Juve and who is convinced that he made the right choice.
“I’m very happy to play in Juventus, I never thought of leaving, I’m too happy to be in this great club, it’s a dream for every player, I want to do more for this club, but I can tell all the fans that every day I give 100% to help the team.” Koopmeiners focuses on Luciano Spalletti and explains: “He has a unique idea of football, with him we can learn a lot, he works a lot on the details even with the videos, we have grown so much with him.”
