Juventus will face Dinamo Kiev in their opening match in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday. Bianconeri coach Andrea Pirlo will make his debut in the competition, which he previewed in his pre match press conference: "I am calm because unfortunately I will not play. I will leave some of the excitement to my players. I can't wait until the game begins because the first match in this competition is fundamental. Lucescu (Dinamo Kiev coach) brought me into the first team when I was 15 and I debuted at 16, I have great memories of him as a coach and as a man. We are still in touch from time to time, tomorrow we will be adversaries. He is an expert but the tast is to use my ideas to cause trouble for them."
"Dybala? We spoke yesterday, he was a bit angry for having not played at Crotone but we must remember that he has not played for three months. He was in Argentina for 10 days recouperating because he couldn't train. I brought him to Crotone to maybe play him a few minutes but then we were reduced to 10 men and I couldn't bring him on. Tomorrow he is available and we'll see what he can offer. He is important for us, Paulo is a champion."
