Juventus needed a victory to extend their positive streak in the league and especially to keep Lazio and Inter, the two direct competitors in the race leading to the Scudetto, at bay. The Bianconeri largely prevailed against a Lecce team reduced to ten in the first period (4-0).
“I saw a game that suffered from a physical point of view. Especially in the initial phase, we struggled a lot, but I also saw a good mentality because even in a closed match, we continued to attack and I like it very much, “reacted Maurizio Sarri after the meeting.
“By playing like this, every three days, it’s okay to have trouble at first, then came the numerical superiority that allowed us to face adversaries who spent more energy and had physical difficulties in the second half. “
A meeting that saw Gonzalo Higuain reconnect with the goal. “He went through a difficult time on a personal level and worldwide because the coronavirus emergency hit him hard and marked him. He’s back, he had a little injury and now he’s getting back into shape. I am happy that he scored immediately, he is a player who will give us a lot in the final phase of the season. “
In recent weeks, much has been said about the possible departure of Miralem Pjanic as part of of an operation that will take Arthur to Turin. Fabio Paratici, who spoke before the game against Lecce, preferred not to lose his balance.
“I don’t know if Pjanic will still play with Juve, I have received no communication. It is not something that interests us, the market does not start until September. I hope he can stay with us until the end, there will be no repercussions. He is very intelligent and quickly understands situations. I don’t know anything and I’m not worried, “said his trainer.
