Our customary appointment on Twitch this week was a three-pronged attack, or should that be defence, the last line of defence because starring in the weekly appointment was Juve's trio of goalkeepers, Wojciech Szczęsny, Mattia Perin and Carlo Pinsoglio!
Catch up on what the shotstoppers had to say below.
PERIN PRESENTS HIS TEAMMATES
PERIN PRESENTS PINSOGLIO: "I'm Carlo Pinsoglio, I was born in 1990 and I'm from Moncalieri. I'm very outgoing, I like staying in company, I like my work and I'm the first person who makes himself available to the group. I am genuine and sincere - sensitivity is my best quality. I'm a professional, I play for Juve, where I played through the youth sector and won the Viareggio tournament with the Primavera. At Juve I have won three Scudetti, two Italian Super Cups and two Italian Cups. I have won more than Perin, who has won only one Scudetto."
PERIN PRESENTS SZCZESNY: "I'm a generally well-balanced lad with moments of madness, but who doesn't have them? Balance is my best quality, but it gnaws me inside when I lose even if I don't want to show it. I am very competitive. I have a son named Liam and I'm fond of architecture."
RITES BETWEEN GOALKEEPERS: "We perform the Pinsocopter when we need to switch on - it's a warm up beofre the warm up for us Juve goalkeepers. It's a technique that only we know, we use it when we need super energy to face training better when we're a little tired. It's a registered trademark of Carlo Pinsoglio."
TEK
"There's a positive feeling going into the Sevilla match. That goal in the 96th minute was fundamental to boost our energy and enthusiasm. It's great to play this match, the most important of the season - we want to go all the way to Budapest.
"When Juve came calling, I simply said 'Here I am!' The first match at our stadium, with all our trophies represented in the dressing room... I quickly understood the importance of this club.
"As a child I wanted to be a striker, but I wasn't good enough. However I liked playing football, I was tall, so they put me in goal and after the first good save I decided that was the position for me. Being good at doing something, more than others, is a good feeling, it gives confidence and self-esteem."
PERIN
"Yesterday we played a serious match, without underestimating Cremonese. It might sound simple, but it wasn't. In the league, Napoli deserved it more than us, so they deserve an applause. We stayed compact when everyone considered us finished due to the sentence,
"Juventus is not right the choice if you want to stay in your comfort zone, it is an ambitious choice because this shirt weighs heavily, there is double the pressure. I wanted to stay here, from a personal point of view you continue to grow and as a team you compete to win, wearing the shirt of the most glorious team in Italy.
"A piece of advice for young people? Nurture a little crazy streak, which is in each of us. Usually whoever is craziest becomes a goalkeeper. A youth coach once told me that we walk a tightrope between madness and stupidity..."
PINSOGLIO
"For me returning to Juve was the dream of a lifetime. I grew up here and returned after seven years away. My role is a peculiar one but I know how to do it well. Being here and wearing the Juve shirt is a source of immense joy, this is my home.
"Our most dangerous player? Di Maria. Why did I become a goalkeeper? In reality I started out as a striker, then I chose this role because well, we're crazy... my role model obviously became Gigi Buffon."
