Many positive thoughts, at this end of the year, for Juventus Women. There are still many challenges ahead, but first, the key thought: pay attention only to Sampdoria.
This is how Juventus Women Coach Joe Montemurro looked ahead to his side's match-up on 16 December, the last of this calendar year.
"With Sampdoria it won't be easy: they are organized and have displayed strong performances against big teams; we will have to show maturity in our approach to the match, and at the same time take advantage of this positive moment and bring home the three points. The Super Cup? No, we're not thinking yet, we're all focused together on the next training session and the next match."
A MOMENT OF GROWTH
"We have a base that is maturing a lot, and it's something that makes me very happy. When we talk about details, when we work even on the little things, it's nice to see how the team applies itself. This then leads to having a precise identity, through hard work, and the results are visible."
ON BOTH ENDS
"Our defensive unit is working very well, and not only with the starters, but through the system we've implemented. We must stay on the pitch intelligently, recovering the ball collectively and proactively. The same goes for the offensive phase, where the game is played differently, but in that case we are talking about building the play, a game that then allows the development of instinct and imagination in scoring goals. I notice that we are reaching the opposition goal with more calmness, rhythm, and with the right plays."
LENZINI'S 100 APPEARANCES
"I am very happy with Lenzini's growth, as a person, as maturity achieved in these two years, which has made her a top player for us, for the national team and also in Europe. When I see this growth I am very happy and I can only congratulate her."
