Vieira: This Juventus team is stronger than last season and is determined to compete for the championship, but Genoa also wants to win

August 31, August 31, Genoa will play against Juventus at home in this round. Before the game, Genoa coach Vieira said in a press conference that Juventus is stronger than last season, but Genoa will also strive to win.

After you reviewed the game against Lecce this week, what aspects do you think need to be improved?

"From a defensive perspective, we played a good game; but on the offense, we need to handle the ball better. When we won the ball at high altitude, there was a mistake in the technical choice. That being said, considering that this is the first round of the league, I am satisfied. We do need to improve, but the direction is right. We trained well this week and we will have a tough game next, against Juventus, we will stay focused and try to play a great game."

Are you thinking about some tactical changes? For example, Ecato performed well in the last game.

"Ecato performed very well after coming on the bench, but Columbo also played well in team cooperation. For Juventus, we will face different problems from Lecce. Now that we have more players available, Ecuban will return, and when we have a full lineup, we will make the most suitable choice and decide who to play." What is the goal of the

team?

"I haven't forgotten, nor are the players. We completed the relegation four or five rounds in advance last year. Maybe the outside world's view of the team and the club has changed. But we are still focused on our goal: to complete the relegation as soon as possible. We are a younger team than last year, with many new faces added and improved technical ability, but these young people need time to grow. We drew against Lecce in the first round, which was not too good, but not too bad. We know how difficult it is to win. I like the attitude of the players because the humility, concentration and sacrifice they show in training are exactly what we always need to keep."

You are never stage frightened when facing strong teams. Are you looking forward to such a performance this time?

"As long as we come on the court, we want to win. Since I came to the team, we always give our all, although sometimes that's not enough. I'm very pleased that the players are ready to compete every time they play."

How to cause trouble for Juventus?

"Juventus and Lecce have different styles. They have strong personal breakthrough skills. We must play a good overall goal. We must keep it tight when defending because they are very capable in both offense and midfield. But we also have the ability to cause trouble for them."

Which player most wants to "take" from Juventus?

"Everyone recognizes Concesan's strength on the right side and Ilditz in the frontcourt. Overall, this Juventus is stronger than last year, so we must be prepared to face a team that is determined to win the championship. At home, we always have good performances when facing strong teams, and we also want to win."

Why do the outside world always call for a change of teams?

"This is the charm of football. Everyone has their own opinions, but as the coach who leads the team every day, my task is to find the best way to play for the player. My responsibility is to make the right choices and keep the team balanced on the court. I don't know if changing the team is the correct answer, but more importantly, the actual performance on the court. The players are eager to make progress, their attitudes have always been very positive, and we will get better and better."

Are there any other moves in the transfer market?

"To be honest, I don't know. This is not something I can control. I'm just seeing some rumors like you guys. This period is not beautiful, but unfortunately, it's reality. As a club, the most important thing is to be prepared. If there is an opportunity that we can't refuse, we must have a solution to it."
