Ranieri : ‹‹Proud to be Juventus››


Ranieri : ‹‹Proud to be Juventus››

The presentation of the new stadium is an important moment for the future but also for the present of Juventus. For Ranieri and his men watching the projects of the club taking shape was an injection of suplementary motivation in view of the match against Inter. ‹‹I think that one of the great things about this club is the capability of making you fell a part of the project whatever it may be. You feel as though even the least sand grain you may bring is important. It is very positive to stimulate the sense of belonging and the presentation of the new stadium made us feel proud of being Juventus››.

The pride will be on the field at the San Siro, in a match different in importance for victory of the scudetto from last year, even if for Ranieri the approach is always the same: ‹‹The matches against Inter stimulate the players and the whole environment. Trying to find a difference with respect to last year is difficult. Supporters stop us and ask for the maximum. There are three points in question and we will do everything to obtain them››.

Juventus approach the match strong of seven consecutive victories: ‹‹When you play these matches you have to detach them from the championship contest, just like when we were going through the bad patch and we played against real, we didn’t bandage our heads before. We knew it could be the match to turn things round and so it was. We must confront this match in the same manner.››

Mourinho’s Inter is at the top of the table, however according to pundits the team must still get used to the new coach: ‹‹Just like it was important for me last year to get to know all the players, so it is for Mourinho now. Inter will surely grow with time. Even now in comparison to last year they have changed from certain aspects: Ibrahimovic was more static while now he moves along the whole attacking line. They changed with regards to playing without ball possession, with only Ibrahimovic ahead of the ball line, it changed with regards to attention and specific moves. Obviously they are still getting used to him, therefore it is only normal that there is less fluency with respect to last year. Mourinho has a Portuguese philosophy but he has taken a lot from Italian football. It is a compliment, just like Ferguson had complimented us when saying that he changed Manchester after watching Italian football›.›

Ranieri did not reveal the starting formation to be fielded against Inter: ‹‹I want to know how Tiago is, the sensations felt, how the trip went...An d then, Camoranesi could be part of the match, he has just recovered from an injury and I want to talk to him first. We must think of expressing our play, then it depends on the night. If it is the right one we will manage to play fluently, with the moves that the boys know by heart. The important thing is that they express themselves as they know best. An adjective to describe this Juve? We are charged and aware››.
