Reaction from Juve-Udinese

Four goals to start the new year on the right foot. Juve defeated Udinese 4-1 thanks to Ronaldo's brace and goals from Chiesa and Dybala. This match was evidence in how the Bianconeri are growing with each passing minute and Coach Pirlo, Chiesa and Bentancur, couldn’t help but express their satisfaction. These are their statements:

ANDREA PIRLO

“It was not the best Juventus, we were coming from a bad defeat against Fiorentina. At the beginning we were a bit fearful, because they attacked the depth well with the two forwards, we left too much space, but we had a good attitude, playing patiently and then we grew. We must have confidence in our means and always be determined to get there. Dybala? He worked really well these days, he worked hard throughout the game and we are happy that he scored. Chiesa? When we defend, he must concentrate, so when we recover the ball, he can take advantage of the insertions and this evening he did it very well.”

FEDERICO CHIESA

“In the second half, we attacked the depth with more wickedness. In the first half they closed the spaces well, the Coach asked us to open them up and we were good at finding the goal to take the lead. Then, when Udinese opened up, we took the three points we really wanted. I always go out on the pitch to give my best for the team and the continuity of performance gives me more and more confidence. Wednesday, we have a fundamental match, we come into it determined because we are Juventus.”

RODRIGO BENTANCUR

“We didn't start very well, then we showed the desire to win and we played a great second half. However, we conceded a goal that we shouldn't have conceded. We must have the same mentality for 90 minutes; we must never give up. Now let's rest and think about Milan.”
