Before the match against Bologna, Juventus coach Igor Tudor gave some statements to Dazn. His considerations are as follows:
Regarding the choice of McKennie over Conceiçao:
“Look, you make choices, and you think it`s the best solution. We prepared well, I saw the lads eager, ready, ready to battle with our qualities, to respond to Bologna, who we know how they play. It`s a beautiful game to play.”
Considering Bologna`s characteristics, could this match be ideal for exploiting spaces, perhaps with a player capable of attacking those areas?
“That`s their thing, but it`s clear that then the game is played by eleven, everyone needs to contribute, everyone does things without making any mistakes. Then they have their strong points, we have ours; both have strengths and weaknesses. We`ll see what the pitch gives us.”
How are you mentally approaching this game?
“As I said before, we prepared well, we had some player issues, but eleven plus five are available, everyone is needed, to give something extra, because these matches are of enormous importance. They are not decisive, because if one wins today and one loses, nothing is decided, it`s an important and beautiful game, we`ll see.”
