In the run-up to the all-important clash between Juventus and Napoli, the Juventus captain and defender, Danilo, spoke some insightful words to DAZN ahead of kick-off.
He conveyed the natural intensity that comes with such direct confrontations. “We know that these matches, in addition to the three points, provide significant morale boost for the continuation of the season,” he told DAZN.
Reflecting on their devastating 5-1 defeat from last year, Danilo stressed how much the context has changed since then. He noted, “It was a different context, a difficult year. We are convinced that we cannot ever allow ourselves that kind of game when we play for Juventus.”
He emphasised their changed approach in direct confrontations this season, saying, “We are demonstrating a different attitude in face-to-face clashes.”
