Blanc and Secco: «A group not to take too lightly»


Blanc and Secco: «A group not to take too lightly»

After the draws of the Champions League, the Juventus general manager Jean-Claude Blanc was interviewed by journalists who judged the group of Juventus as quite easy. Blanc answered: : «There is never an easy group. They are always hard. It is true, we will not be playing against English teams but we will be playing against our friends Bayern Munich which Juve already met in this competition. Laurent Blanc’s Bordeaux is a tough team but even Maccabi is and we will play against them with all due respect». As a Frenchman he knows the French championship well. Blanc is asked about Bordeaux: «Lyon and Marseille made important investments while Bordeaux chose consistency and therefore they have a team which we know well and which will not be easy to beat».

Juventus sports director commented the draw of the group stage of the Champions League giving a clear picture of what can be difficulties against teams like Bayern Munich, Bordeaux and Maccabi Haifa.« Our group is a group that should not be taken lightly. Bayern Munich is a team we know well. We know they didn’t start of very wel. Bordeaux are the French champions and this year are still first apart from great players like Gourcouf, Chamakh and others. I don’t know much about Maccabi Haifa but we must surely be careful with them. On paper I think Milan’s group is on the same level as our swhile that of Inter is probably more difficult. I think we must play on gtwo legs against all teams even though starting off at home means we can organize the logistics of the away matches more».
