Ranieri: «I'm expecting Juve to be pragmatic»If we were to take the weather playing up as a sign of fate, we should be optimistic: indeed, after a violent summer storm, just when Juventus came on the pitch for their afternoon training, at 5.30 on the dot, it stopped raining in Pinzolo and the sun came out. The team were able to train without getting wet, focusing first on warm-up and then specific exercises to improve headers and ball possession. Before the session, Ranieri, as always, spoke with Juventus Channel, and he announced his intentions for the next League season: «Last year I was saying we needed to be a nuisance to everybody; well this year we need to be even more pragmatic and efficient. The important thing will be to improve game after game, but, sure, all of us hope we can win the title».
Says it all really. Pragmatism and effeciency first, we'll play a very opertunistic came, the coming season.
