TORINO (ITALPRESS) – “We need the participation of an entire environment, we need the eyes and hearts of our people. More than with the gesture this race is resolved with the context. We know that it is a difficult and delicate moment, we ask our fans to stay close, with them at our side we are stronger”. On the eve of the Champions League play-off match against Galatasaray, scheduled tomorrow at 21 at Allianz Stadium, Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti spoke at the press conference analyzing the team’s time and the difficulties of the game. The Bianconeri start from the heavy 5-2 of the course, but the technician asked for compactness and support of the environment.
“If the group believes in the company? We have to be ourselves all the way. Our chances are few but we want to play them all.” Kenan Yildiz, of whom Spalletti stressed the growth and weight in the dressing room despite the young age: “For us he is a leader. It is a point of reference, it shows in serenity in difficult times, that ease in exploring new things even when it seems difficult. He typically showed his will to stay here. They are signals that lead him to raise him in terms of personality. He wants to be there in every way to play this challenge. Today he did a partial training, but leaving the camp told me ‘mister sonò’.
The Bianconeri technician also dealt with the issue of criticism addressed to the team and the goalkeeper Di Gregorio, reaffirming the concept of collective responsibility: “We must accept the fact that we are despised. As a group we do not feed anyone to the considerations of others, we divide everything in equal parts. Of all the offenses the whole group takes on a little percentage, both when things are beautiful and when they are ugly. So it becomes a less strong weight, lighter to endure.”.
Looking at the race, Spalletti explained how the team should remain united and concentrated, without losing identity even in the most difficult moments: “The next two games weigh the same way. They are both beautiful threats, but also beautiful challenges. Now you think about this race. It is difficult, but together with our audience we will try to do everything. Until we end up trying to do anything. We must be a deeper and more solid version of ourselves. We must have the ability to remain a team, when it would be easier to become eleven individuals, but we will not. We know what value we have when we all play together. We must enter the field with the thought of making a goal, then scenarios, energies and ways of thinking change.” The technician also confirmed the availability of Bremer: “It will be summoned and can be used in the game. He, like Yildiz, is made of white-black pasta.”.
On the importance of the race, he added: “It goes a lot from these results here, we are in the condition of playing the game at best. We reset it with a recovery day that occasionally takes us. Then the difficulties do not remove the value, force you to use it. Other thoughts about the future will be made after this game.” Space also for a reflection on Kostic: “I didn’t give him much space and I’m sorry, but the boy has an important value as a man, as a professional and has a great membership in the values of this club.”.
In addition to the coach he also spoke defender Lloyd Kelly, who stressed the awareness of the moment and the compactness of the dressing room: “When we play in front of our fans we have great conviction and confidence, it will be up to us players. We know where we are, we can’t forget. We know that we have a difficult task but we must be ready.” The power station added: “I think that at this moment we all understand what the current state is, even in terms of emotions. When we play games like this we know it’s difficult, but this is a club that is like a family. Regardless of the times the teams are always united and compact.” Kelly also spoke about the opponent Victor Osimhen, the protagonist in the outbound race: “We know that we face this type of footballer, they have created so many occasions on the way. In the week we tried different things. It will be necessary to be in the game immediately, personally I hope to play high level. We know it’ll be tough. In the last race the way we hit the goals is something that any player does not want to see. We must forget the outbound race.”.
