For comparisons with the recent past, especially with the 2015-2016 season that saw the Juventus of Max allegri To start badly and turn after a derby won in a comeback, there is time.

Andrea Pirlo, who at that time underwent a metamorphosis in the field, is today the coach of a Juve with less certainty than then, but with an always winning DNA and above all with an extra Cristiano Ronaldo in the engine.

So after the clear victory of Barcelona who lost first place in the Champions League group, highly valued given the range of possible rivals avoided, we can only think about the away game against Genoa, without slowing growth.

The message sent to the team by the Brescia coach on the eve of Marassi’s game is clear: “If we still have the game against Barcelona in mind, we must cancel it immediately, because we have to turn the page and continue. We have to continue with the same desire and the same rhythm. These matches generate great awareness of improvements, so they can be a huge confidence boost for this final match before the break. Let’s focus on playing great games or we will have bad surprises ”.

However, the Brescia coach does not deny the progress made in recent times: “I like the desire to defend forward. When you attack forward, even opposing teams have fewer opportunities to come and play head-on, so we have to be in our head to take the opposing half of the field trying to have offensive pressure, so the defensive phase even when We are in our area, it must be aggressive and never passive and we are growing ”.

Then we talk about individuals and in particular Juan Cuadrado, among the most fit of the moment. But Pirlo also has something for the Colombian …: “Juan is an important player for us, but he was also an important player for Juventus in the past. “

A word also about revelation Weston McKennie: “They are all available, luckily they removed a day of disqualification from Morata. McKennie is adjusting well, little by little he begins to understand Italian and can express himself better with the children. He is a player with a great career and a lot of desire with a wide margin for improvement, inclusion is one of his main qualities, he is improving but he can do even better ”.
