Tudor was unveiled this morning to the local and international press.
How have these first few days been like?
“Hello everyone, I know you a little. I thank the director, the whole club for this chance and the chance to coach this club. I will give everything to do the good job, what should be done. There are emotions, clearly not because Juve represents what it is. Players, there was little time to work.
How did you see Dusan Vlahovic?
“Dusan has made a nice gesture. He is a very strong player and I am happy to coach him. I have already talked about him in the past, that's how it is. This is his facts, not words. A player who has all the qualities that a first -class player must have. Who are his strong players. Can they play together?
On Kerem Yildiz and Teun Koopmeiners?
“If someone is strong, they can play everywhere. I saw all the guys disappointed, when a coach leaves, it is also their responsibility. At the same time I saw them very enthusiastically, motivated to start over. Buy the same. They are players with rare, important characteristics, they have to score goals. They make the difference in football. They make the difference in football.
What should you solve?
“There are always these beautiful descriptions, I know they are somehow going. It is almost always black or white, even when we are black and white. I consider myself a coach. In my career, and I started coaching quite early because of injuries. I have been doing it for many years.
Who are the leaders of this team?
“I met someone yesterday, I can't tell you in 2-3 hours how people are there. I can give you a comment. It is true that this youth is clear. The generations are different, even the young people arriving, the culture is different than 20-30 years ago, there is also more personality. Bit. If you are at Juve, it makes no one when you are young or old, you have to be strong.
“Work that is for everyone. Juve is that club because it does the right things because of the right choices to do with the right people. I went around and I didn't see that. If you make the wrong person, you don't do it well. There has always been this power, starting with the people above. Wednesday and you win, you play an almost greater desire, that little team was crazy.
Who will be the captain?
“Everyone has to take responsibility. The captain will be Locatelli. We will make two or three names in the coming days, they have arrived yesterday. Manuel is a good guy, a good person, he has the right skills to do it.”
What are you going to concentrate most on?
“We have to work on everything and give a little light -heartedness. At the same time, give something from a tactical point of view. Nastiness, but also the right things. Work on all aspects and neglect nothing, but go strong, aware of what we represent. But we have to go strong.”
Is it fair to immediately expect a 3-man defense?
“I played with 4 in defense, but also with 3. I did man-targeting and zonal prints. These are important things, but you have to look at the characteristics of the team.”
How will Juve be different? How will they use Koopmeiners?
“I can't compare it. I do my own thing. I see in training and Saturday must be a consequence of that. Now there have been few, 2 or 3. I hope to show something. The mind. It should not be missing. Head and heart. It is also for the right things from a tactical point of view.
What did you think when Juve called you? What did you say to the boys?
“It was great. I said a lot of things to the boys. It was a special week because they came from the national teams.”
When did you understand the feeling of belonging to this club?
“I said I had to Perin yesterday. I arrive at the age of 20 -Zidane is in the dressing room. I am waiting for therapy there. There are people who get up and it is my turn. I see Zizou and I go, he moves and says: who he is, he has to turn them around.
What do the players need?
“It's an individual thing. Now it's precisely to give a little positivity, but then we have to put on our helmets and pedal. We have to start again, but without fear. We know the pressure to be at Juve.”
Should we expect an attacking team?
“We don't have to give up anything. I want people who enjoy themselves. I always want to score a goal. I like to attack a lot, but I don't want to admit goals. The work must be complete. Football has to go in a direction that makes it increasingly interesting, the world has to demand more and more.
Do you want to ask the fans something for Saturday?
“The fans have always been important and I am sure they will support us on Saturday because the club is loved. The boys give it up and I am sure we will play a good game. The game will be difficult with Vieira who is doing very well.”
An opinion about Randal Kolo Muani and Khephren Thuram?
“Yesterday I spoke with Lilian, we had a chat. Look, if he does something wrong, hits him right away. No, he is well mannered, I know Khephren from Nice, I met him from Marseille. I saw Kolo yesterday, a very strong player, I don't have to say it.
What insights have you received from the team?
“But you feel it, you smell it, you talk to it, you hear what the players say. Heart, acknowledge, you can't win with it. Otherwise we bring the biggest fan and let us train. All the points of view. Motivations, both tactically, tactically and not just the other. Get credibility.
Have you observed little Juventus -DNA?
“I talked a lot about this and I don't have much to add. I said everything I wanted to say. You have to do the right things.”
How do you explain a Juventus that is so difficult to score goals from set pieces?
“I don't want to comment on what happened earlier, in the sense that I will go to work and we will see. Explain why there was something or was not or was not, is not even polite on my part. I love set pieces and it is an important possession both defensive and offensive and attacking will be more and more, you have to be worked hard on this aspect.
Have you heard of Marcello Lippi?
“He brought me to Juventus. When I think of him, I think of Juventus. His way of communicating and managing the dressing room. I love him very much.”
