According to Corsera, the Roma vs. Juventus match is about the art of recovery, with Tudor learning from Ranieri. Igor Tudor, despite disliking labels, acknowledges that many are being applied to the Roma-Juve game tonight at the Olimpico. It`s seen as a clash between two interim coaches brought in to navigate troubled waters and aim for Champions League qualification.
However, the Juventus coach states, “This is an important game, but not decisive, and we are going there without making calculations.” He explained, “We don`t go to Rome saying `we will win,` but with the awareness that we have prepared to earn three points, although anything can happen.”
He added, “Personally, I have always liked these kinds of evenings; they are what players love the most.” Regarding the 4-0 defeat from twenty years ago, which became a meme due to Totti`s gesture during a scudetto race, Tudor downplays it. “These are on-field matters, and we have discussed them many times,” Tudor said, addressing those bringing up the anecdote.
The focus is solely on the present. “I found the team in a difficult moment, but we have recovered and want to continue,” he stated. Looking to the immediate future, he added, “We need to think game by game; considering what might happen in two or three games is pointless. We must work on structure and style, on the defensive phase, on everything.” This check-up began in his first full week with the team.
