Juventus are in a battle for the a Champions League spot with a fourth place finish as the bare minimum objective for the season. The bianconeri's manager Andrea Pirlo was asked about his next opponent in the pre match press conference:"Udinese are a phsycal team with players that have quality in De Paul and Pereyra. They don't give up a lot of goals and they defend well. A tough match awaits us, but we have an objective in our minds"
Pirlo gave an update on his starting lineup:"Ronaldo is feeling well and is serene, he will play alongside Dybala. Morata isn't feeling great, he had a problem at his calf and we'll evaluate today if we should take him to Udinese. Chiesa is also not at his best, it would be a bit risky from the beginning. Kulusevski feels well and could start. Arthur practiced only yesterday, Ramsey still on his own"
Pirlo was asked about his future:"I'm serene, I spoke to ownership yesterday. I'm focused on the present, I try to do my job well like at the beginning of August. I read about the possible successors from you, these rumors don't influence me"
