Juventus, Igor Tudor introduces himself and gives the charge

This is how new Juventus coach Igor Tudor introduces himself in a press conference to reporters: “The emotions are there, but not only for Juve because it is a club that everyone would like to coach: there is a desire to do work, to do well, to achieve goals. I believe so much in this team, there&#8217s little time to work but I will give everything, everyone came yesterday but there are no excuses and in my life I have never looked for excuses: I look for responsibility from the players.”

“If I had 10 years on my contract it would change little for me: I just live from the present, I always make choices from the heart. The captain is Locatelli, he has the right skills to do it and Vlahovic is very strong: I am happy to coach him, he and Kolo Muani can play together or one or the other. Koopmeiners and Yildiz are also very strong, they are among those who have to score goals and I will look for the position to make them the best”.

“The fans have always been important, I am sure they will give their support on Saturday: the club is loved even at times like this, the boys care and I am sure we will start well. With Genoa it will be a difficult challenge, Vieira is doing well and the Rossoblu have skills and quality and are a dangerous team: I want a Juve that attacks with many men but also that doesn”t take goals, we need a complete job”.

The following, on the other hand, are the words of the technical director of the Bianconeri Cristiano Giuntoli: “We took some time, with a cold mind we analyzed performance of the last competitions and there was concern: we decided to give a turn, the choices immediately went to Tudor. My relationship with Thiago doesn&#8217t change, he can be a coach at a great level and now Tudor has arrived: he will be with also at the Club World Cup, then we will see but we hope to continue together because he can have important qualities to carry the project forward.”
