Ahead of the match with Roma, coach of Juventus Andrea Pirlo spoke to the media to discsuss the important affair. Juventus will face the giallorossi at home after drawing to them 2-2 at their first encounter. Pirlo commented: "Tomorrow will be a very difficult match. Roma is one of the best teams in Serie A this season, their players are moving around constantly and they are good at attacking spaces without the ball, especially with their midfield. We need to be aware not to give the ball away in the middle of the pitch, they are deadly in the counterattack.
We have changed since our first match: for example McKennie wasn't involved on corners, which he is very good at, also having Kulusevski on set pieces where he is not the best. I didn't know my players well then, including their strengths and weaknesses. Without a preseason I had to try certain things in game, which is what we did.
Ronaldo? I knew the level of professional he was, but to see him train every day was a surprise: he has a great passion and he enjoys himself. That is the main thing when you are 36 and you have already won everything. That is when one becomes a hero."
