After beating Albania and the Netherlands, the Italian National team has returned home ahead of the Serie A fixtures this weekend. The most notable matchup is that between Napoli and Juventus. Gianluigi Buffon spoke to TuttoSport about the game and the current state of Juventus:
“Both Napoli and Juve arrive ahead of this game in the same conditions, there’s nothing to complain about. If we play better, we’ll win, otherwise we will lose. The complaints about anticipated games? It’s not the first time that this happens. As for Barzagli there isn’t much to say, he didn’t leave for a stomachache or any physical issues, he left for personal reasons. If he then went out to have dinner, good for him, he did the right thing”.
Juventus will be facing a lot of challenges, especially in the two legs against Barcelona: “We’ll try and advance to the next round. We have the luck to have earned these two matches. The hope to beat them until the end is definitely there. Whatever happens, we’ll se in what way we’ll be able to take our fate”.
