By db-admin
DBasia.news – Juventus coach, Andrea Pirlo revealed that the derby della Mole against Torino was always tense. He also admitted that he was enthusiastic about welcoming this match.
Juventus will face Torino in the continuation of Serie A giornata 10. This match is very important for the Bianconeri in their efforts to keep their distance from AC Milan who are currently alone at the top of the standings.
Ahead of the match, Pirlo revealed how important this derby is. Not only for the team, but also for the supporters of the two teams who are looking forward to this match.
“This is an important derby for two teams and their respective supporters. It’s always tense. It’s fun to play this game, there are a lot of emotions involved,” he said as quoted by the Italian Football.
“I’ve been lucky enough to be part of this derby a few times, winning and also scoring important goals,” he added.
The Old Lady embarked on this match with a 3-0 win over Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League. Pirlo also said that the victory increased the mentality of Cristiano Ronaldo et al.
“Now, we are trying to increase some of our strength from that match. We are mentally ready for an important match,” he continued.
“Torino is well developed and has a good coach. They play proactive football with great players on all fronts,” he added.
Juventus cannot be strengthened by striker Alvaro Morata because he received a red card in the previous match. As a result of the red card, the Spanish striker will miss two matches.
“We will try to fill the penalty area as best as we can, because the goals came from there. With Morata, we are more present in that area, while with the players who will appear tomorrow, we will try more from outside,” he concluded.
