Fernando Llorenteformer Juventus and Napoli striker, focused on his old Italian teams during an interview given to notebooks de La Gazzetta dello Sportstarting with praise for the Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli: “Juventus needed to change a lot and they did it well. Giuntoli was my manager at Napoli, it’s a guarantee. And if they spent a lot it’s because they want to triumph again : Juve always sets out to win everything. For the Scudetto, Inter remains the strongest but Juve is there. And watch out for Napoli, they’re a phenomenon in the Champions League more open, whoever unlocks the game has a better chance of winning.”
Focus also on the attackers in view of tonight’s match between Juventus and Leipzig, with the match between Vlahovic and Sesko: “He has confidence, with the first scoring opportunity he can direct the evening. I’m focusing on him, after the double against Genoa he won’t he will stop. He is a guy who scores 30 goals a season but he has to concentrate on his work, the goals are a consequence.”
Between him and Sesko, who does Llorente prefer? “I still take Dusan. If he improves he has everything to be one of the top number nines in the world.” And between the two terrible 2005s Yildiz and Nusa? Says the Spaniard: “Yildiz seems special.” What is Giuntoli’s shot that intrigues Llorente the most? “Conceicao. Technique, dribbling, bursts…”. Then he also says, in his opinion, the possible decisive men on both sides: “Xavi Simons and Koopmeiners can change everything with one shot and one assist”.
