An important month is on the horizon for Juventus. Between Serie A and the Champions League, there are many games Juventus must play in their quest to obtain their objectives for the season. It is an important moment even for Hernanes: “I am happy to play and for the kind words the coach has always given me. I feel as though I am in great form at the moment, but I always knew that I could be of help to the team. I am proud of the fact that I have been given playing time. The environment affects us players, and this is something which I had experienced last year. Even if your abilities are developed, the environment here allows you to further improve: as a consequence we have formed a great team.”
Juventus plays Pescara on Saturday in an important match which cannot be taken for granted: “We must be aware that we will not have a simple match to play on Saturday. Many of our players are returning from international duty which can cause some fatigue, but what must remain within us is the fact that we need to bring home three points with the assistance of our fans. The critiques of our game do not interest me, because those are just opinions: the results are what matters.” After Pescara Juventus must travel to Spain in order to face Sevilla: “For now, we must think about Saturday. Afterwards, we must of course think about how to defeat Sevilla, because one of our objectives is to finish top of our group. It will be the first decisive moment of the season, and if we do not win our destiny will no longer be solely in our hands.”
