Juventus: Massara Is Certain About Spalletti and Clarifies the Situation Regarding Woltemade

Juventus Chief Football Officer Massara spoke to Sky Sport ahead of the Juventus-NEC match: “We need to take this seriously because it’s a competition we care about, regardless of whether we qualify for the Champions League. When you’re Juventus, you have to aim to compete at the highest level in every competition.

“All of us who wear the Juventus jersey have a duty not to downplay the points we’ve lost. We also have an obligation to conduct objective analyses—which we do daily with the club and the coach—and which are based on one certainty: that the club has complete confidence in the coach and the team itself.”

On the transfer market: “We’ve done a lot of interesting things, always within UEFA’s restrictions, but we’re satisfied with what we’ve accomplished. We know we’ve brought in many new players, and we need to be patient with them, but we know we’re building something that we want to see bear fruit as soon as possible.”

On Woltemade: “We consider him a strong forward. We thought he could bring a level of quality we didn’t have on the roster—a player who can also complement Kolo Muani. We’re very confident he’ll do well.”
