We’ve already met this season, at Villar Perosa, and having watched their games so far, they look like they have the possibility to do well this season”. Didier Deschamps is taking a cautious approach to his team’s away game at Piacenza on Saturday, aware of the threat the men from Emilia Romagna pose on home soil. “A week ago people were saying that we were not prepared for Serie B, that we didn’t have the right attitude. Now, after three wins in a row, people are saying we should easily win all our games. I’ve told the boys to be careful not to pay too much attention to what they read. When praise is lavished on you, it’s tempting to relax a little, but we must maintain the same approach we’ve had over the last few games”.
Deschamps has a wealth of options available for the clash. “Everyone trained today without problems. The fact that the players are in all in such good condition creates a problem for me as not everyone can play. We’re very close to having all the squad at the same level of fitness”. The journalists asked Deschamps about the condition of his captain. “Del Piero knows what he means to this team and he’s been showing how physically and mentally prepared he is with his performances. He’s training hard but the only truth is that of the pitch. So far he’s been playing very well, but I stress, everyone here is equally important”.
So is the Frenchman expecting trouble up ahead? “Of course we will encounter difficulties over the course of the season, as we did at Rimini. That game was an indispensable experience for the players, as it showed them early on what we’re up against this year”. For Deschamps it’s still too early to be talking about promotion contenders. “We’ll need to see what happens over the next two months before we start talking about who’s likely to go up at the end of the season. Napoli, Brescia and Genoa are supposedly three of the favourites, but they’ve all dropped points so far. I’ve looked at previous years and there are teams that have started well but dropped off towards the end, and vice versa. There’s definitely a need for continuity”. And a word on the pending decision of the CONI. “I’ll take what we’re given. I spent much of the summer waiting in hope so we’ll just have to see”. <br><br>Source: Juventus.com
