Spalletti: Facing Roma is a Real Test, and We Need to Prove Maturity
Luciano Spalletti, the head coach of Juventus, spoke at the press conference ahead of the match against Roma in the sixteenth round of the Italian league, emphasizing the difficulty of the game and its importance in terms of development and performance.
Spalletti said: "The victory we achieved in Bologna was important because we applied what we worked on in training during a difficult and complex match, and I believe that will help us develop positively."
He added: "The team trained excellently, and I noticed greater attention from the players to the technical concepts. I feel that everyone has become more engaged and committed at this stage."
He continued: "Milik will be called up for the match. I saw him excited and very happy to be back. He knows his role well and will be with us. McKennie has very important qualities, especially in pressing and moving between positions. Bremer will play, while I will assess the condition of Caprari and Rugani due to their feelings of fatigue."
He continued: "Kambiasso is a player I really like; he has great potential, is strict with himself, and always strives to improve. Locatelli is performing well in his role, and he still has room for improvement despite adapting to a different style of play."
He continued: "The absence of Koopmeiners makes it difficult to predict certain things, but the most important thing is to establish good habits among the players, while being aware of the opponent's strength. Tomorrow, we will see our ability to build play from the back even without a technical player like Koopmeiners."
Spalletti added about his rival: "Gasperini is a coach I respect a lot; I like his style and philosophy. The current Roma clearly reflects his personality. The team plays comprehensive football, and all the players know their roles well."
He concluded his statements by saying: "The match against Roma will be a very important test for us, and a true test of maturity and competitiveness."
