Just over 24 hours remain until the Juventus Women play their inaugural competitive match in the first leg of the first round of the Coppa Italia against Torino Calcio Femminile at the "Soffietti" Stadium in Pianezza. Manager Rita Guarino spoke to Juventus TV about the excitement of finally kicking things off.
WE ARE READY
"There is so much emotion and desire to get started. We've talked and trained so much but what matters is playing and we are ready for this debut. The girls are in great condition and ready to start this new adventure."
WHAT TO EXPECT
"I expect a game in which Turin will try to defend the result with the teeth, while we will try to push our game and our style of play. Ours will be a team that does not want to sit back but push for more attacking."
THE IMPORTANCE OF FAN SUPPORT
"We look forward to seeing our Juventus fans and for them to see our girls in action for the first time. It will be a good opportunity to get to know them!"
A SPECIAL VISITOR
"A new course is taking place in the national team, with the leadership and experience of Milena Bertolini after many years of Serie A. Milena is a great ambassador of women's football, an aspect that leads her to deepen the relationship with the coaches of Serie A and Serie B because we must work in synergy to grow together and do everything to make our players as effective as possible for the national team.
