“We have prepared for a match against a competitive team that plays good football and presses a lot, we will need to be fluid in our game in order to be in control and attack well. We are focused as always, and we approach the game with respect for our opponent and maximum commitment. The rest doesn’t matter, my focus is only on Juve and the performance we have to put in to get a positive result. The fact that it’s an encounter between two team’s with excellent defensive records means a lot, it shows solidity. A complete performance will be needed, playing good football and defending as we have done so far this season. All players can change the game, regardless of when they come on the pitch. It’s not a question of league or Champions League, every match is different, but the objective remains the same: not to let the opponent’s play their game and to seek control of the match. [Dusan] Vlahovic is fine, it is important for a striker to score, but he must continue to work hard alongside his teammates. Even without an out and out striker, the team must be dynamic, as the opponent is. [Francisco] Conceicao is a strong player, he had a good training session and we’ll see if he can play. I have no doubts about the formation, the choices are clear and the players already know them.”
