Juventus, Sarri: "My future won't be tied to the result, the club doesn't operate this way"

Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri spoke in his pre-match press conference ahead of the 2nd leg match against Lyon. The tie's winner will advance to the Champions League's final eight, and Sarri previewed the stakes for the match: "We have to play with patience and calm, and remain very focused. Did I have a chat with Ronaldo? No there is nothing in particular to say. He is training well, yesterday in training he scored a beautiful goal. It would be great to move to the final eight, it would signify an entry among the elite in Europe. My last game at Juventus? Those who would say this say that our directors aren't serious, on the other hand I would say they are exremely talented at their jobs. They have a plan and any change that they may make is independent of any result tomorrow. Is there pessimism? I am agnostic, I don't read and I don't watch anything. We are very happy we won the title in the toughest season in the history of Serie A."
