Juve-Sampdoria, Pirlo: ‘We lack players’

Andrea Pirlo enjoys a very calm and victorious debut: Sampdoria have never created problems for their Juve. “It’s a shame that we didn’t score more in the first half, then we had a small decrease but we remained lucid. They covered and left again, but we were good at handling situations. Frabotta played an excellent game, I chose him because he knows how to play and is training well, it was not a risk. The American (McKennie) has more days of training on his legs and is physically better than others, he has ridden with some errors but has room for growth ”.

THE PHILOSOPHY

–

Pirlo has always said that he was inspired by Guardiola’s Barcelona, ​​Ancelotti’s Milan and Conte’s Juve. “I do not want to copy and paste anyone, I will be inspired by great teams but we do not have much time and we will have to assimilate concepts quickly. At the moment we lack players, but meanwhile we try to do well with what we have. We have 4 midfielders who play better than two in terms of characteristics, they are neither game nor midfielders, so we are trying this way, in the future we will try something else. Ronaldo for now is not tired yet, in the future when less important matches or results already achieved arrive, I will also recover him that he is a smart boy and knows his body, he knows when it is better to stop. In general we will find the right balance but quality is always welcome, we will look for the solution so that the most talented players play together when the attacking department is complete ”.
