Juventus, Giuntoli: “Bonny is an excellent footballer. Napoli starts from a different level”

Cristiano GiuntoliManaging Director Football of Juventus, spoke to the microphones of DAZN a few minutes before the match against Parma: “Yildiz has shown that he has great qualities in these matches, not only from a scoring point of view but also in terms of assists and work for the team, he is certainly a boy with a great future”.

What are the feelings after the 4-4 draw in the Italian derby?
“In general, it could have gone worse, but it could also have gone much better. In these cases we always look at the positive aspect, the team has never given up and has always believed in what it does. It has always tried to play the game: sometimes it succeeded, other times less so.

Triptych of simpler matches to mend the rift with Conte?
“The championship has just started, there is a lot to cover, for us it is a delicate moment because we have had many absences for some time and we are using the same players. Our opponents are probably not so prohibitive, but they are still fearsome and a team lacking energy could also encounter some difficulty. We are ready to face them one by one, knowing that it will not be an easy path.”

What must Juventus do to annoy Napoli?
“I don’t know, in these cases we always have to think about what we have to do, ours is a very young team that needs to grow and whose ambitions will be seen along the way. At the moment I don’t want to think about anything else. Napoli are a great team, which at 8/11 is the one that won the scudetto two years ago, with a core team used to scoring a lot of points except last year, it’s clear that they’re starting from a completely different level.”

Do you like Bonny?
“He’s an excellent footballer.”
