Interviewed by the notebooks of Allsportsthe former Juventus striker Michael Padovano – who won the Champions League with the Bianconeri in 1996 – took the opportunity to highlight how much it changes to play a match on such a prestigious stage. Especially for the ‘Old Lady’ who hasn’t set foot there for 2 years and tonight (18:45) will make their debut against PSV: “Of course, the music already makes you understand that it’s another world. I hope that Juve will resume an interrupted conversation and do it in the best possible way, not only participating but doing it in the best way, winning as many games as possible, at least finishing in the top eight”.
Sensitive topic Dusan Vlahovicfrom whom the fans and also the club, like his teammates, expect great things. Especially for the game born from the mind of the new coach Thiago Motta: “I like it a lot and I think he has a lot of room for improvement. But be careful, he must be put in a position to play. In Empoli he had only one goal opportunity to play, a beautiful one thanks to Nico, so he must have two or three per game. At that point I’m sure he’ll score at least one goal”, Padovano guaranteed.
Adding: “And then he’s physically strong, mentally strong, he works hard for the team, he transmits a great energy to his teammates also in terms of his willingness to sacrifice. However, he needs to be put in a position to look at the goal and not have his back to the goal. Maybe he could also use a few more crosses”.
