Tudor: Bremer and Tulam won t play, Juventus can become a tough tough guy in the Champions League

October 1: Before Juventus' away game against Villarreal, Juventus coach Tudor attended the pre-match press conference.

How is the current state of the team?

"The team is in very good shape. We performed very well against Atlanta 3 days ago. We played seriously and with a good level. Tomorrow is the Champions League. The whole team is eager and has a high morale. We are ready to play a high-level game."

Irdez's physical condition?

"He will play, there is no sign of fatigue. In that game against Atlanta, our team ran 122 kilometers, and the intensity is very high."

Bremer and Toulam's situation?

"They have some minor injuries, which prevents them from playing, but they should be able to catch up with the game against Milan."

About forward rotation

"For all players, the Champions League is an ideal stage. They all want to play, and they are all very strong. I am very happy to have these three forwards. I have communicated with them, and I will care about them, making them feel valued. They are all good guys and good players. I communicate with them every day, and I like their mentality. They will all be of great help to the team."

How do you think of Juventus' technical level in Europe?

"This is a good question, but this is actually a comprehensive evaluation of the entire team and the players, and it is the most important thing. It is indeed difficult to judge, and everyone is trying to evaluate. It is not easy for me to draw a conclusion at this moment, but we can also make our voice in the Champions League, and we can become a tough bone for any team to crack. I am satisfied with this team. This answer is a bit official, but there is no way (laugh). "What are the reactions of the forwards to rotation?

"I talked to them yesterday and they responded well when they trained. We sat down and had a good chat. I could feel their motivation. We discussed everything, including potential issues. Each of them was eager to play, whether it was a starter or a substitute. We also considered every possibility, and this strategy would last until the end of the season."

What do you think of Villarreal?

"They are teams with a good level and they are playing at home and are in good shape at the moment. Just like us, they also have advantages and disadvantages. What we need to do is to try our best to play our advantages."

Could you change to play four-back?

"It is possible, or may not, we will evaluate it according to the situation. We have analyzed all their games, and may also make adjustments based on the progress of the game, and we are ready." Will

sacrifice a striker?

"May or may not. In addition to the players' own wishes, there are also issues of tactical characteristics. Who doesn't want to see them play together? But the stadium is only 100 meters long and the game is only 90 minutes. I hope there will be no situation where you have to press all, which usually means we are behind the score. But at some moments of the game, of course we can do this."

Next to play Villarreal and AC Milan

" It's just started... It's reasonable to make the assessment now, but there are 33 games left in the league. Sunday will be a great game against Milan, but now it's the Champions League, and I care more about the team's form. I want to win, and the players are the same. They are all working very hard. As the head coach, I will focus on proving that this team is correct, real, and organized. Football itself is unpredictable, but I'm currently satisfied with the team's form. "

Is the media too focused on the striker?

"It has always been like this. People are keen to talk about goals, and naturally they also talk about forwards, but the league championship is also won by defense. I talk to all the players, including Ivan (assistant coach) who is here with me today. We often chat with the players for two hours. This is part of growth and we have to accompany them in the intensive schedule. Our defense is good, and I am very satisfied. The overall defense includes the entire 20-man lineup. Of course, the forwards are always more likely to be paid attention to."
