Turin, 4 Nov. (LaPresse) – “We’re going into this match in good shape because the team has shown a strong response and knew how to approach the game. They realised that everything depended on them; now they probably have more confidence, even though losing players of McKennie’s calibre always takes its toll on the team.” Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti made these comments to Sky Sport on the eve of the Europa League away fixture against AZ Alkmaar. “We must expect a very challenging match; we’re playing against a team with a very distinct and recognisable identity,” he added at a press conference. “It’s a team that always tries to play; it’s somewhat characteristic of this country to play a possession-based game and try to dictate the play – they have a fairly modern approach on the pitch.”
