Ranieri: Fitness The Most Important Thing
Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri was content with the friendly win over Brondby last night, but says that improving fitness is the most important thing at this stage of pre-season.
The Bianconeri began their pre-season earlier than most other Italian clubs due to their participation in the Champions League preliminaries next month.
During their latest friendly last night, Juve defeated Brondby 2-1 courtesy of goals from Amauri and Vincenzo Iaquinta.
“It's nice to win and it boosts morale,” The Tinkerman told Juventus Channel.
“At this stage it's important to accumulate minutes on the pitch and finding our rhythm; we were facing fitter opponents, they've already begun their League and the UEFA Cup.
“The lads loosened up after a few minutes and they did well. I already noted some positive things; they'll need to be confirmed in the next few games.”
Juventus’ next test is against Borussia Dortmund in Germany on Saturday, and Ranieri confirmed that he plans to use both Alex Del Piero and Mauro Camoranesi.
“I count on making Camoranesi and Del Piero play for a few minutes on Saturday, against Borussia Dortmund, who played the German Super Cup final today,” the former Chelsea manager concluded.
