Douglas Luiz, Monchi sends message to Juventus

Aston Villa sporting director Monchi spoke to 'La Gazzetta dello Sport' just hours before the Champions League clash with Juventus: "Juve è Juve. It is slowly finding its way after the arrival of a coach with a different idea. É more and more; Thiago’s team and now è much stronger than two months ago. And then he needs points in the Champions League: it will be a very difficult match".

He will be missing; the big ex of the challenge, Douglas Luiz: "He is playing less than we all expected, but we are talking about a strong player. There are guys who arrive and impose themselves, others who need time. Patience is needed, but Douglas’ qualities are not in question. He will become important for Juve. É a director and every ball that comes out of his feet makes sense: last year he played 90% of the games with us. É was instrumental".

"After his farewell, we invested and in the midfield we are well placed with Tielemans, Onana, Kamara, Barkley… But Douglas I would always take him back, in any club: è strong" added the English club’s ds.

"New business with Giuntoli? We will see, becauseé no… We have a good relationship, born when I worked in Rome and he in Naples. It will dependè on the needs. Cristiano è one of the best Italian managers and sooner or later he will win the scudetto even with Juve" concluded Monchi.
