As communicated by Juventus themselves, Maurizio Sarri will not be on the bench for either the debut of the 2019/20 Serie A against Parma nor for the second match against Napoli, as a result of pneumonia. To speak about the Bianconeri and their new manager, Pavel Nedved spoke in a press conference today.
"Sarri is doing a great job, we are very happy for him. The team is following him as well. We are confident and we believe that the changes we have made will bear fruit in the present and in the future. It is not a moment of transition because we know what Juventus is made of: hard work, sacrifices, and professionalism. This is why we will aim to win again this year - Sarri's ideas have entered the locker room."
"I don't want to say anything about a single department, i want to discuss the team as a whole. The squad, as always, it is made up of 24-25 elements. Obviously, there is competition but the players know it very well because the club was very clear. Everyone must be a professional, train well, and be ready whenever called upon."
"Paratici takes care of the market, not me. Dybala can never be a problem because he is a great player. Maurizio is using him as a striker and he is doing very well - he has a great pre-season despite starting after the others. The market is not over, but Fabio is doing very well as always. He has done great operations such as the ones for Danilo and Demiral. We have also made outbound transactions. Along the way, we will take advantageous opportunities for ourselves and for our players."
