Interviewed by La Gazzetta dello Sport Arrigo Sacchi spoke about the Champions League challenge between Juve and Benfica: “Maximum attention, the Portuguese are strong and boring to face. Juve are trying to get into the top eight, although it is complicated, but I hope they give a great performance. After the knockout in Naples, they have to get back up and they have the chance. Thiago Motta is a coach who teaches soccer and for that reason I respect him. Juve’s players have only to follow him and apply his lesson. The rest will follow. Is there a risk that the revolution will not take place? I don’t think so, because I am convinced that Thiago, supported by the management, has the qualities to make Juve a leading player in European soccer. In the first half, in Naples, I liked the Bianconeri and they bothered Conte’s team. Of course, some patience is needed: it takes nine months to make a baby, let’s never forget that….”
Juve, le parole di Sacchi
On the new Champions formula, he added, “With this new formula, it must be said that there have been some surprises. There were teams that were supposed to win hands down and, instead, now they are struggling and don’t know if they can qualify. I remain convinced that we are playing too much and training too little, and with this system you end up with surprises.” In the meantime comes a cracking announcement: Zirkzee to Juve! <<<
