Danilo starts speaking
How do you explain this performance?
“In my opinion it’s useless to talk about attitude, but let’s talk about concrete things: we were more static when we had the ball, for most of the match. And it’s easier for whoever gets in behind, without taking away the credit from Venezia. We play every 3 days, we always think about the next match. The victory against City gave us more motivation, the teams come here to make our life difficult.”
Is this the true size of Juve?
The size of this Juve is not yet understood. There is talk of improvements but we can’t wait too long. We always talk about it taking time. We can’t wait too long. There’s me, Perin, someone else more experienced, others are young, they have to grow up. Without frenzy and trying to improve”
Have you spoken to Vlahovic?
“No not yet. Then we came back and we had too much disappointment and bitterness. I haven’t had the chance to discuss things yet. The most important thing is the mutual respect between us and the fans. They will certainly put pressure on us, they are used to winning and that’s right” .
About Douglas Luiz?
“He has just returned and is having some physical problems. His reading and technique are different from the others, I am sure that he will give us important satisfaction in a short time.”
Was it essential to go below the curve?
“This is a dynamic that has always existed at Juventus. When you win, you go and celebrate. Draws or defeats, you go to the fans to thank them for their support. On an evening like today, we are all human. Juve’s dynamic since I’m here, I learned this from the older ones. As long as I’m here, we will respect this dynamic. Maybe when I leave it won’t happen. We always go and say thank you to them, they are important to us, especially in this season where there are more difficulties than usual. There are many kids, many players who still have to understand and learn what Juventus is, the history of Juventus. There is an important job which is to give support to the kids.”
Is there a Stadium problem?
“For me it’s always beautiful. I feel motivated and at home. Those who arrived this season at the moment don’t yet have the synergy with the stadium. It has to be built, it’s normal, it can’t be done overnight. Let’s continue like this , the fans have always been very good, they supported us very well, even against Bologna and City they were incredible. There is bitterness and frustration, if I am a Juventus fan I am also sad and frustrated. Tomorrow it is important to bring the environment back together. players, managers, fans, let’s all contribute to bringing Juve back to the top.”
How are you now?
“The more I play, the freer and better I feel. For many reasons, for the Copa America, for the lack of preparation, it cost me a few games and minutes. I’m available, I feel good, I’m involved with the boys, during the days, I am available to the boys first and foremost, the coach and the club.”
What made Vlahovic angry?
“I don’t know why on Dusan because I arrived later. I just tried to calm him down. In the heat of the heat we all had to calm down, we all have to calm down, the fans, stay there with respect. But the whole environment, here has always been there, since on our part and that of the fans. As mentioned, there are times when the readings on their part are that we are not committed, we make ourselves available and work hard. Things should have gone better opportunity to respond aggressively, immediately, yes he plays a lot and there is always the opportunity to get back on the pitch and show that we are there in the right way.”
