Fabio Capello introduces Juventus opening Champions League encounter: “The first match is always difficult and it’s fundamental to start well because winning would be a good step forward”.
He’s asked about their opponents: “Like all Belgian clubs, they’re well organized and are hard to play against but we have to and we must be careful and concentrated. Club Brugge are good at playing high balls as they have tall players and have good technical qualities so we’ll have to get on the pitch with humility. It’s true that some of our players are not available for injury but we have a good squad and I’m sure that the substitutes will live up to expectations. Portillo? I remember Buffon once countering him when he was playing at Fiorentina, he was dangerous at Real Madrid and very skilful in the penalty area”.
The Bianconeri boss does not give any anticipation about the line-up. To face Pessotto’s injury, Capello says there might be some changes of role or the introduction of players like Balzaretti or Blasi. As a whole, the squad is in a good shape: “Our team this year is complete and we can handle several absences and injuries. We’ve all matured and we’re confident about our possibilities”.
