Kick-off for Sunday evening’s Derby d’Italia is steadily approaching, and Leonardo Bonucci has revealed how the team is approaching the challenge that awaits at San Siro. "Finding a favourite in this game is difficult,” he explains. “We for our part, will go to Milan to pull off a great performance, which will lead to obtaining the final result. I'm sure we'll see a great Juventus: it will be a hit-and-run game, but we're ready.”
THE OPPONENT THAT WAITS JUVE
“Inter has players of great value, recognized internationally. They are doing well, and they have a great style of play that allows them to express themselves at their best. In Barcelona for an hour they played well and aggressively.”
LEO AND THE JUVE FAMILY
"What matters most of all to Juve is the sense of belonging that one breathes, the attachment to the shirt, which is then what remains inside you. Juventus is my family, for me coming back was a great joy, it made me responsible as a man: when you leave it you realize what you have lost, embracing it was an indescribable joy.”
WORD ON THE DEFENCE
Leo explained how the Juventus defensive system has changed: "This season we defend a zone in the spaces: at the beginning we needed to overcome some small difficulties, but we are working well and certainly the path of growth will not end here. De Ligt is a very good boy, humble, he has important characteristics for his age. He has brought so many expectations with him and has the potential to become one of the best defenders in the world. Now he is serene and calm, he is a boy who likes to play football. What's more, he’s strong and aggressive in on one against one situations. He is growing fast. He must listen, learn and improve, and become one of the best around.”
