These are his statements:<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>RED AND BLUE WARRIORS<\/strong><br\/>&#8220;The perfect match may not exist, but today we all gave 100%, we were warriors, we put in a great performance. It wasn&#8217;t easy against a great team like Juventus: they have players with so much quality, they play at full speed. I thank God, everyone: the team, the coach, the staff. We made up for the Genoa match, where we made some mistakes: this is also football, we needed a night like today.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COACH<\/strong><br\/>&#8220;I thank the coach. He helped me get over this situation quickly. I&#8217;m managing a small knee problem. Even though I wasn&#8217;t 100%, I gave it my all. Before the match, the coach came to me and said: &#8216;How are you, Yerry? I trust you.&#8217; &#8216;Coach, I&#8217;m in a bit of pain, but I&#8217;m here, I&#8217;m better, let&#8217;s fight together.&#8217; We all have difficult moments, but the important thing is to always get over them as quickly as possible. I admire the coach, as a man and as a coach. I&#8217;m close to him; like me, he comes from a difficult city. During the match, I told him: &#8216;Coach, these three points are too important, let&#8217;s protect them at all costs, no one can take them away from us.'&#8221;     <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>HEART AND PROUD<\/strong><br\/>\u201cOur fans moved me with what they did for us tonight: we could feel them, from the stands they transmitted their strength to us, they pushed us on. I thank them. The armband? I feel Sardinian, I identify with these people. It&#8217;s a source of pride to play for these colors, to represent this land. My man-marking? You can&#8217;t give an inch to strong players like Juventus; they have the ability to punish you immediately at the first lapse in concentration. That&#8217;s why I always play hard, even in training; I&#8217;m not one who likes to lose. But always with respect for everyone and without ever hurting anyone. We are professionals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>A GREAT TEAM PERFORMANCE<\/strong><br\/>It was a great team performance, especially defensively: containing Juve required maximum focus. We did everything we&#8217;d prepared during the week with the coach, following his instructions. The most difficult moment of the match? The second half, they were pushing hard, looking for the equalizer; we were a bit tired, struggling to get out: we doubled our energy, all of us, we stayed united. How am I? I feel better, I&#8217;m happy, now let&#8217;s focus on the next one. We have to keep going like this. The World Cup? It&#8217;s a goal, not just to take part, but to be a key player. A dedication for the victory? It goes to my wife, first and foremost, and then to my agent, Simone Rondanini, who gave me a hand before the match.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":21782,"template":"","tags":[148],"news_cat":[278,276,274],"class_list":["post-21799","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-mina-en","news_cat-new-in","news_cat-latest-news","news_cat-first-team"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3.1 -
