Juventus adopted Sarriball’s style of play last season, which is the famous possession-based approach of former boss Maurizio Sarri.

But the new Juventus manager has implemented a training regimen to change his team’s focus.

Pirlo told JTV via Goal: “The aggression and the desire to get the ball back after losing it, that’s something we are working on a lot.

“Looking at the last Champions League, the teams that made it to the end were the ones that tried to get the ball back in the shortest time possible.

“That must be a characteristic that distinguishes us.

“We will give it our all, I’m sure we will really want to show the fans that Juventus wants to win the tenth consecutive Scudetto and possibly reach the Champions League final.

“There is great desire and great expectations, but we are here and we want to do our best.”

Pirlo insisted that spirits are high in the Juventus camp, even with some players off international duty.

He continued: “The guys are eager to do well, they have found a new methodology with some new exercises that they have never done and so this already brings enthusiasm.

“The road will be long, also because we don’t have much time to work with many players who are out. But we are working well with the ones we have available.

“I hope I have passed on some concepts that we are working on already for the first day and I hope to find something in the middle of the field.”
