- Ruben Amorim said his team was ready and enthusiastic before its away match against Juventus.
- He described the game as a useful test of the teamโs progress, while rejecting the idea that big matches matter more than others.
Ruben Amorim approached the trip to Juventus with confidence, saying he was enthusiastic and believed his team was ready.
I am enthusiastic, I think my team is ready. I am ready.
The coach played down the special status of the fixture, saying every match had to be won and that a major matchup was not more important than any other game. He said the Juventus match would nevertheless provide a good test of whether his team had improved since the previous week.
You have to win every match, so I do not think big matches are more important than others.
Amorim also referred to pressure during the pre-season, when the team failed to win some matches. Facing a strong Juventus side and a strong coach, he said, would offer a clear measure of the teamโs progress. For him, the match remained โa normal day of work,โ and he was eager to see his players on the field.
It will be a good test to understand whether we have improved compared with last week.
