With the three points of the Hellas game already in the archives, Juventus look ahead to the next game versus Brescia on Tuesday. The Bianconeri's coach Maurizio Sarri previewed the match and discussed the fitness of the players of his team in the pre-match press conference:
"It's important that we have continuity in this moment, but there are also other factors to consider. Today, we'll have to make some evaluations especially about players' fitness and injuries. It's not certain that I will start the same XI as the Verona game. I have to evaluate if it's strictly necessary for Bonucci, Matuidi and Ronaldo to rest. Yesterday, Cristiano had muscle fatigue, it's normal after playing three games in seven days, We'll have to evaluate his conditions. Indispensable players other than Ronaldo? At the moment Matuidi is one of them, because he gives us balance. Douglas Costa was becoming indispensable too, but then he got injured. Chiellini could have also been one of them, then obviously the concept of indispensable players is something that varies a lot depending on moments in the season".
The former Chelsea coach then touched upon his adaptation to the Juventus environment and the approach to their next opponent, Brescia: " With Juve it's a process of mutual learning. I have to understand what I can do and the team must understand what I am asking for. It's an evolutionary phase and we are working on it. 'The Juve world' is in many ways not so different from that of other teams. Here there's a lot of organisation and I'm finding it well. Then, technically the real adaption is to that of the team and searching for the right balance. Brescia? Brescia are a dangerous team. They play decent football in an enthusiastic environment and a lot of work has gone into it. The game is undoubtedly a tricky one. Balotelli's return coul give them additional enthusiasm, they are in great shape", Sarri concluded.
