TORINO (ITALPRESS) – “It was a week in which we recovered physical and mental energies in view of the many games that await us, we prepared ourselves to the best for the challenge of tomorrow. We are loaded and ready, we look forward to playing.” Manuel Locatelli presents the Derby d’Italia at the press conference against Inter, valid for the 25th day of the championship. “We all know the importance of the race tomorrow, we know their strength, they are players who have been together for a long time and is a mature team. We lack this maturity a bit, we had to win some dirty games, but we always have margins of improvement and now we have gained greater awareness. We will have to make a big game of personality”, adds the midfielder and captain of Juventus.
The blue does not enter the merit of the contractual renewal of Spalletti, though the team is happy with his arrival on the bench: “We are very happy with him, how he works with us and the trust he sends us. Boga? It was nice to find him after three years spent together (at Sassuolo, ndr), I found him more mature and convinced, can give us a hand in one against one”. Locatelli does not want to make any controversy about the unhappiest moment of the arbitral class: “I don’t feel like giving advice, I have a good relationship with all the referees, they also commit themselves to the maximum. Then there may be mistakes, it is normal, but they are not things that compute me.”.
Words ‘soft’ that somehow embody his personality: “Being a captain is a daily responsibility, in the field and out. I always try to be humble and to give the example, with all the love and heart for this mesh.” Despite this one of his best seasons in Serie A, Locatelli misses a few goals in his personal booty: “I could score a little more and I should try to get more to the conclusion. But for us the important thing is to win, can mark anyone. Now I have other tasks – Locatelli concludes – and we all try to do things well.”.
