McKennie's comment after the match
“As Nico Gonzalez said – McKennie's words to Dazn – this victory is too important because in the last few matches, except Cagliari, they have been a bit difficult, many draws. These three points are very important, even before Christmas, for for us, for the club, it's not so important to score goals and assists: the team's result counts first and foremost 'help the team.'

Koopmeiners, his conditions
Thiago Motta explained to Dazn the substitution at half-time for Kheprhen Thuram: “He felt his adductor pull a little and we didn't want to take any risks. Tomorrow we will evaluate how the player is doing, we hope he is well.”

Giuntoli on the Juve market
“We are looking around – Giuntoli's words on the transfer market to Dazn – Hancko is a good player who we have been following for some time, but we are at the window waiting for the cards to be revealed. We definitely have to do something in defense. Koopmeiners? When we imagined the team we tried to put in as many pieces as possible, but obviously the completeness of the team will arrive in the next markets because it couldn't all be done together. Koopmeiners is a very helpful player, we are happy to have him with us and we are sure that he will make an important upward move. Are you going out? At this moment our desire is to make up for the serious absences we have had. Honestly, we wouldn't want to move anyone, then it depends on the market, but we would like to stay like this. Milik? We plan to have him available by early January, he's going very well.”

Nesta: “We have to play a tough game”
“We're interested in the spirit seen against Udinese – Nesta's words to Dazn in the pre-match -. In Lecce we complicated the match, we can't get the approach wrong. We need to play a tough match, then the center of gravity will determine the match. We have to have courage, we have great respect for the opponent, but we have to play a good game. We have to be compact in some areas of the pitch to then go up and push the opponents back. We have to be ready to play an aggressive game tough. Lately we have conceded avoidable and stupid goals, we must avoid mistakes because Juve is strong and doesn't forgive Birindelli.
