Head coach ““Mircea Lucescu shared his expectations of the match in the fifth round of the Champions League with Juventus.
– What game are you waiting for tomorrow?
– It will be a difficult match for us. Juventus have already reached the playoffs, but need 3 more points to compete for the top spot in the group against Barcelona in the last round. But our end will not be tomorrow.
– You mean the fight with “Ferencvaros”?
– Very well. For us, the Europa League would be a good result of the group stage. I am training a young team, in Turin we will try to do our best and make our mark. But I cannot deny that our main task will be the game against the Hungarians. Of course, it is an honor for us to play at the Juve stadium, although without spectators, but the match, where we will have to win at any cost, will be played in a week.
– What impression did Juventus leave on you in the first leg?
– Good impression. The match was balanced, with the individual qualities of the opponents playing a decisive role.
A club like Juventus has two teams … That is why I warn my players that although the Bianconeri have already reached the playoffs, tomorrow they will be the same as always. Clubs like Juve and Barcelona are made to win, win and win, especially in the Champions League.
– But Pirlo has enough problems, in Italy he is well criticized.
– Give it time … In Italy, everyone always talks about football, and the coach is always to blame. Pirlo is a young coach, he has to deal with a dressing room full of great players and that is why he is in a difficult situation. But I am convinced that he has talent and vision for the game. These qualities were in him as a footballer, they will undoubtedly manifest themselves on the training bridge. In my opinion, Pirlo has a great future in this new role.
– What kind of football does Juventus play?
– Juventus is a very aggressive football. Of course, there are nuances that need to be improved, because the Bianconeri made a number of mistakes against us, but I’m sure that overall they just haven’t had any luck this season.
