Easier said that done. “We remain focused on the Champions League qualification: external situations must not distract us,” preaches Andrea Pirlo in the most surreal days experienced by Juventus.
Between Sunday’s defeat in Bergamo against Atalanta and the expected rematch tonight at the Stadium against Parma, the Juventus coach found himself having to govern a team where the Super League talks were intertwined with the need to maintain at least the current 4th place in the championship. Yesterday Andrea Agnelli spoke about the project in the locker room, before the situation worsened, reassuring the players and asking for maximum commitment for this season finale.
“He gave us great confidence – Pirlo confirmed yesterday afternoon – and told us that the most important thing is to continue our work to earn the Champions League on the pitch”. Net of what will happen and the risk of having to pursue a “ghost” goal, due to UEFA excommunication in the event of the launch of the Super League, Juventus is trying to get back on the pitch.
Parma, penultimate in the standings, is the best possible opponent to return to victory and try to think of something else. “The players must rest assured – added Pirlo – because football goes on: they know that the present is Parma and they must concentrate only on this”.
Juventus find Ronaldo after the pain in the flexors and at his side there will be Dybala: the old couple had not played in the starting line for 101 days, when Joya was hurt against Sassuolo, and the two forwards – who are chasing 100 goals in Juventus – Andrea Pirlo relies on him to find the home victory. His future on the Juventus bench is also in the balance. «I only think about finishing the season well – he comments -, bringing the team to the top four and winning the Italian Cup. Then the club will decide based on the results, but I am focused on these matches and do my best to be here next year ». –
