Lippi: "Inter-Juve, a wonderful match"
In an exclusive interview with Tuttosport, the former coach of Juventus and Italian selection Marcello Lippi spoke in particular of Sunday's clash between Inter and Juventus
. "This game is not that important in terms of points. Even if Inter were to win and distance themselves, there would still be too many games to play for it to be considered a sentence. On the other hand, winning or losing will the difference mentally. Inter are one step ahead because Conte has been there since last season, she has progressed, she has perfected. Andrea makes a radical change, especially at the tactical level, he is trying to play in a different way and it seems to me that he's starting to reap the rewards. It will be a wonderful meeting. "
Conte and Pirlo as coaches?
"They were two players with great, great intelligence, always very attentive to what was going on around them, both during matches and during training. They understand football and can therefore explain it. and teach it. Conte has always been meticulous, Pirlo has always been a perfectionist, with an above average take on the game. "
The faults of Inter and Juve?
"They are both a little too dependent: Lukaku on one side and Ronaldo on the other. Without these two players, the potential of both teams diminishes significantly."
Still on Ronaldo: "I realize that when he steps onto the pitch, for example on Wednesday in the Italian Cup, the effect is immediate. The opponents are afraid and the teammates take courage."
Agnelli's choice?
“The decision to take Pirlo and rejuvenate the squad came after the squad had won nine straight scudetti and had so many triumphs, so he could afford to renew the motivations and lay the groundwork for a new round. Andrea is a very intelligent person, who knows the environment he finds himself in. It's a yes bet, but well thought out, with a logic. "
Buffon, the eternal
“I did not expect him to play again at 42 years old. Especially since a managerial career awaits him, at Juventus or at the Federation, with a well-placed function because he deserves it. He has a great sense of communication, he has a great personality and a lot of wisdom… He's not bored on the pitch yet, he wants to work and play. It's very beautiful. "
Can Juventus win the C1 this season?
"This year could be the right one because the teams with coaches like Pirlo, who in his career has always rubbed shoulders with the top level, could paradoxically have more difficulties in ordinary meetings than in big matches, just look at the 3 -0 inflicted at Camp Nou in Barcelona. "
