Juventus, Luciano Spalletti introduces himself and aims high
New Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti appeared at a press conference on the eve of the match against Cremonese. “These are wonderful feelings – he began – because we all know what the history of this club is, the organization of this club, we know that there is a high expectation however then to get into it and have direct contact is always a beautiful emotion”.
“Now prevails the desire to take this club to high levels– added the’former head coach– although I have absolute respect for this classification and the work done by Tudor, whom I greet dearly, because I had the opportunity to know him and I have the certainty that he is a wonderful person and a professional of the real kind, so I am sure to find a team in good mental condition. Of course we have to work strongly to have a chance to have at those ambitions we were talking about before. So I am glad to be here, I thank Comolli for the words he had for me”.
The coach from Certaldo has clear ideas: “If I had not believed that this team has potential despite the fact that it has gone through difficult times, why would I have accepted an eight-month contract? So I believe I can do a good job with them, then it comes down to willingness and self-discipline to make important results I see possibilities to put some things right. The sights are high, we have to try to get back into the Champions League. We have to catch up because the others are running hard”.
“Yes, I hope to get back into the Scudetto round as well, why not? In fact that’s what was being commented yesterday with the players in the locker room: intentions have to be at their best because then nine games have been played and there are still 29 more to go, that’s a lot to go. I have seen it all in over 30 years of profession”.
Closing on Dusan Vlahovic: “It is easy, you talk to each other: I did not have any imposition from the club so I go there and I see what he does and what is his response, his intentions, and evaluating from the last game his intentions are very clear. That behavior there puts everything in place because he had a wonderful game”.
