In his editorial on TJ, Andrea Losapio talked about the Champions League draw that matched Juventus with PSV Eindhoven. Here are his words, “It will not be the same match as the first Champions. It’s hard not to agree with what Gianluca Pessotto said, but the problem currently is that Juve is not the same as when the rounds began. There were some players missing, such as Kolo Muani, but on the other hand the Vlahovic grana was still dormant. New signings were ready to show up, with the feeling that there could be a fair amount of satisfaction in the near future. The defeat to Benfica was a downpour that brought PSV as an opponent, a hot soup. That’s good because right now Juve couldn’t hold up against other, better-ranked opponents.”

The journalist continued: “On the other side you have the pressure on you to win by force, because the money from the round of 16 is (almost) necessary and the ambition still needs to be fueled. Because in the maelstrom that is involving a bit of everyone-from Thiago Motta to the club to the players-you need to pull yourself together to try to do the only thing that matters in these cases, which is to win. Even perhaps not by commanding operations, but with a basic cortomusis that Thiago would not want, but will probably have to learn to stay at certain levels. On the other hand, the obsession of the sport, for those who lift trophies, is to have to win, not just to play well.” Also read the PSV coach’s comment on the pairing with Juventus <<<
