Juventus Next Gen, Montero: “The ranking doesn’t worry me. A couple of victories are enough”

Very complicated challenge tomorrow for the Juventus Next Gen which in Biella will host theAvellino Of Raffaele Biancolino. Below are the words of the Juventus coach Paolo Montero on the eve of the match: “We emerge from this period with work, with trust and with the unity of the group and the desire to all want to come out of it together. Now the team is really completing itself, everyone is returning, we are also recovering the injured , there will be more choice. What can change things is trust and the desire to believe in it. My and our goals have not changed, because I see the team train every day.

Honestly the boys train to the max, I can’t really tell them anything, because I see them grow day by day. But this growth must also continue on the pitch, in competing 100% in a group that this year is completely different from usual. And then in reading the match, because we are often punished for the first mistake, like the barrier that opens on a free kick, or for an unlucky episode. It is on this that we must accelerate growth, knowing that historically this team, the Next Gen, improves from November onwards. We will also need to speed up this process, because losing sleep still takes away sleep.

I’m not worried about the ranking, because it’s very short, you just need to win a few games and you can move up quickly; it’s obvious that if I look at it now it hurts me, but it doesn’t worry me: I repeat, the most important thing is not to lose faith, because it’s sad to see episodes of the match that punish us, when I know how they train every day. We must understand that certain mistakes should no longer be made; it must also be said that there are periods in which everything goes in the right direction, others in which every episode is the opposite, and kids must be aware of this. The three points? They are important for confidence: even if it seems counterintuitive, we were lucky enough to meet teams who were all at their best, which is useful for understanding where we are at. And the point is that these opponents have almost never put us down: we have to start from here, and now we need a positive result.”
