Juventus Women are looking to pick up important league points in their home match against Inter in the race to qualify for next season's UEFA Women's Champions League. The Bianconere will face the Nerazzurri on Sunday 10 May at 15:00 CEST.
Massimiliano Canzi spoke to the press on the eve of the match, his comments are below
THE IMPORTANCE OF DEPTH
"For us, it's important to have a deep and experienced roster at our disposal at the end of this season: we're coming to the end, and the girls are certainly a bit worn out from the long season. We often forget that we're the team that has played the most games, reaching the Coppa Italia and the Serie A Women's Cup, advancing in the Champions League, and therefore playing a truly impressive number of games over the past few months. Having the ability to choose is important, both when selecting your starting lineup and during the match."
THE CHALLENGE AGAINST INTER
"We're feeling good. This was one of the very few weeks we managed to prepare ideally, with no other commitments and the entire team available. We've recovered from the trip to Naples and trained well. The match against Inter won't be easy: the data tells us they have the top attack and second-best defence; statistically, they're the team that performed best in the entire championship. Roma deservedly won the Serie A Women, managing to stay ahead of the rest from start to finish, but the raw data tells us that Inter are truly top-notch. That's why we expect a tough match against a team that's strong in every department."
BONANSEA ONE STEP AWAY FROM GIRELLI'S RECORD
"Bonansea, like all the women who have been here longer, are instilling in the rest of the group the concept of being Juventus, what it means to be part of this family and the sense of belonging to this team. Above all, what it means to wear this jersey: the fact that players like Bonansea—who is close to reaching a major milestone, Girelli's record for appearances for Juventus Women—along with Rosucci and Salvai, allows the team to absorb these concepts. Then there are several players in the group who have been at Juventus for several years and who will be able to take this guidance to heart and carry on their legacy."
