Losing to Barcelona, Andrea Pirlo says Juventus is in a Development Process

DBasia.news – Juventus manager Andrea Pirlo thinks the Bianconeri are in the process of becoming even better for the future. Juventus surprisingly had to be defeated 0-2 from Barcelona in the Champions League group stage, in Turin, Thursday (29/10). Barcelona’s victory in Turin was the first time in history.

The Blaugrana dominated the game in that match. Ousmane Dembele, Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann often shook Juventus’ defense. The Bianconeri squad must play defensively so their goal would not be conceded.

“We know it will be difficult against a team that plays good football, who are used to playing at this level, while we are in the process,” Pirlo said as quoted by Tribalfootball, Thursday (29/10)

Pirlo will take the positive side of the match. According to him, against Barcelona it will be useful to be able to grow and develop in the future. Pirlo also hopes that his players can get fit soon after undergoing a busy schedule.

According to Pirlo, it will not be easy for players to manage their performance with a busy schedule, especially young players who are less experienced. Juventus had to play with 10 players as Merih Demiral received a red card.

“It’s frustrating when you get down to 10 players, because you can’t pressure them, otherwise it ends up empty. That’s what the players don’t realize when we play with 10 players, “said Pirlo.

The former AC Milan and Juve player added that football clubs have their respective eras. Currently, Juventus has several experienced players. In addition, the young players are also in the process of showing off so that it takes time to level up.

“They are trying to create something there, but we need to work and improve until we can play against Barcelona at the same level,” he concluded.
