The Juventus vs Napoli duel will be a battle between two friends

DBasia.news – The duel between Juventus and Napoli in the 2020-2021 Italian Super Cup was the momentum for the meeting of two friends, Andrea Pirlo and Gennaro Gattuso. Both will be forced to fight for their respective teams.

Pirlo, who is currently the coach of Juventus, will compete tactically with Gattuso who is handling Napoli. This is their first meeting as tactics.

But morally, Gattuso is in a much better shape than Pirlo. He had just brought Napoli a party of six goals without reply against Fiorentina in the continued Serie A last weekend.

On the other hand, Juventus had just lost when they visited Inter Milan’s headquarters. These minor results has put Pirlo under pressure.

However, Gattuso’s condition did not bother his friend. He is ready to add to Pirlo’s suffering and increase the number of his trophy collection for Napoli.

“We are good friends, we have good times on and off the pitch. But this is a football match, so let the best team win, “said Gattuso at the pre-match press conference session.

“But whatever happens, we will still be good friends after the final whistle. We used to talk a lot more after the game, he was even quite annoying, but I think he is busy right now.”

Technically, Gattuso thinks he has a game philosophy similar to Pirlo. This cannot be separated from their long duet in the field.

But Gattuso was reluctant to boast even though he had switched professions to become a coach first than Pirlo. The 43 year old man believes the match will be interesting.

“We have the same vision of football, we both like to play from behind and are looking for something new, which over the years we have seen the Spanish team do so,” he added.

“Juve are an extraordinary team and we must not make the mistake of thinking they are in trouble.”
