Rome, Aug. 4 (LaPresse) – “Having players who arrive with fresh enthusiasm is always an advantage for the team. Plus, we already know these guys because we’d been keeping an eye on them. Two others arrived earlier as well, and they’ve certainly made us a stronger team on paper. Then, of course, we have to start working and integrate them into the team’s dynamics. However, I’m satisfied with the club’s commitment, and I’m pleased to have brought in players of this caliber—because one is a bit young, but he’s a young player with significant potential. And this was a long-standing priority for the director; it was definitely his idea because he’d already been tracking him last year.” So said Luciano Spalletti, Juventus’ head coach, on the eve of the friendly match against Chelsea in Hong Kong. “As for Kolo Muani, everyone in the Juventus locker room had talked about him as a special guy in terms of friendship and our relationship with him, and as a player, we all know him, because he’d managed to impress even top-tier clubs like Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham. Bringing him home is a source of pride,” he added.
