The stand in tactician of Juventus has reiterated that there is no complacency in the ranks of Juventus as they are hosting the Donetsk side at the Juventus Stadium.
Juventus finally played their first match of the Champions League since the 2009-10 season and even though there were many cynics who felt that the Bianconeri outfit would not be able to do well in the tournament. The Serie A Champions have been pitted in
a group which has the likes of Shakhtar Donetsk and reigning European Champions, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, as well.
In their opening match, they were travelling away to the Stamford Bridge, home of the current and holding Champions of Europe. Despite conceding two goals in quick succession, the Italian champions were resilient in their attack and worked hard to draw the
match.
Besides their European form, their performance in the domestic league has been superb as well, and they were in prime form as they pummelled AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 by a convincing score line of 4-1. When quizzed about their upcoming task when they host the Ukrainian outfit,
Massimo Carrera has remarked that his team would be looking to perform to the best of their abilities and looking to work hard to secure a victory in the group stages of the tournament.
Carrera was apprehensive and did not speak any big words about their match at the Juventus stadium. He went on to state that their objective is to win the next match in the UEFA Champions League, and are looking to take each match as it comes. Coach Carrera
also praised the coach of the opposition and said that he knew quite a lot about Italian football.
During his interview before tonight’s encounter with Shakhtar, he went on to state:
“Before talking about our Champions League objectives, we have to win this game. They are a very technical side and they have a Coach in Mircea Lucescu who knows Italian football well. They have a lot of Brazilians, they are a dangerous team, one who can
counter-attack and a team who can play good football. We know that they are very good at the back too, they’ve conceded just six goals in 10 games and they haven’t lost in 25.”
The stand in coach remarked that it will be difficult, but they will persist with a positive frame of mind.
