00:00Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to our conference in Vigilia.
00:14Let's start with the questions for Mattia Perinne.
00:18Let's start from our platform, please.
00:20And I ask everyone to present you and your head. Thank you.
00:24Good afternoon, Mattia.
00:27How is the atmosphere in the dressing room after the win against Lazio?
00:32And how are you personally experiencing the start of the season? Thank you.
00:36Good afternoon, everyone.
00:39Starting with the first question, there is a lot of enthusiasm, but it's always there.
00:44We are developing this ability not to be too suggested by what happens around us,
00:51but to always find motivation and enthusiasm on a daily basis.
00:56This is what pleases us the most, the desire and the beauty of being together on a daily basis.
01:06So there is a lot of enthusiasm, a lot of energy, a lot of passion.
01:10We try to put it in during training and during games.
01:14You asked me a very good question. I am very happy.
01:21We are trying to build something new, a new philosophy.
01:25As I said, I try to bring both a bit of experience and a bit of enthusiasm and passion
01:31for what concerns me and my teammates.
01:35Hi Mattia, I am Giorgio Musso from Calciomercato.it.
01:38I am asking you, where can this Juventus come from?
01:41And what are your plans for the future?
01:45And would you like to stay at Juventus for the next season? Thank you.
01:50Where can we come from?
01:53It was a song, we will find out only by living.
01:56We like to stay in the present moment, because I think it is the most important thing.
02:02The more you can stay in the present moment, the more you can perform,
02:07the more you can achieve your goals, your dreams.
02:11The present moment, as Stoccardi says, is our focus, our head, our soul,
02:18on the game we have to face tomorrow.
02:21We know it is going to be very difficult, because we have a lot of time.
02:27It is a team that is very prepared, that has a philosophy that we can share,
02:33like ours. They like to keep the ball.
02:36It will be difficult, but important for our path, because we can put another brick
02:42on both the season and the Champions League.
02:46As for me, we are talking to the club for my possible transfer to Juventus.
02:53In the next few days, in the near future, we will see.
02:58We want to continue on both sides, so I am very happy.
03:03In the next few days, there will be news, I think.
03:07Hi Mattia, Giovanni Albanese, Sport Italia.
03:10Since you have been a reference beyond the space you have had on the pitch,
03:17I would like to ask you how you are consolidating your relationship
03:23with Mr. Motta and how you are feeling with a new team-mate, Gregorio.
03:29I fully agree with what the coach said a few weeks ago.
03:34I am very happy to be able to play with him again.
03:38I am very happy to be able to play with him again.
03:42I fully agree with what the coach said a few weeks ago.
03:46I don't feel like a second goalkeeper, because my team-mates and the coach
03:50don't make me feel that way.
03:52I like to say that he is a co-owner.
03:54Obviously, the coach makes the decisions.
03:57Maybe one plays a little more, one plays a little less.
04:01We have to be good at putting him in trouble and making him understand
04:05that whoever comes on the pitch is ready to replace the one on the bench.
04:10It is up to us to show that we are 23 possible starting players.
04:17I think that is the direction football should go in the future.
04:21It is said that you play a lot.
04:24It is probably true.
04:26But if you have 23 players, where everyone can take the place of their team-mate,
04:31where there is competition and a desire to improve together,
04:35maybe one player won't have to play 50 or 60 games anymore,
04:39but he can play 35, 40 or even 20.
04:43So, we can go in that direction.
04:48It is my idea.
04:50I think we can share it.
04:52As for Michele, he is a great player, as is Carlo.
04:56I have known Carlo for a long time and we have a special bond.
05:00We are also building a great bond with Michele.
05:04He is a great guy and a great goalkeeper.
05:08It is great because all three of us are working hard to improve.
05:12Day after day, there is a healthy competition.
05:15When you wake up in the morning and you can't wait to get on the pitch,
05:22because you know there is competition with a team-mate,
05:28another synonym for healthy is that you can be clear and transparent.
05:33It is one of the reasons why you play football.
05:41Good afternoon Perin, Simone Nasso, OG Sport Notizia.
05:44Tiago Motta is a coach who involves goalkeepers a lot,
05:48also in the construction of the game.
05:50How much have you improved from a technical point of view
05:53and in general, how has the work of goalkeepers under the new management changed?
06:01Technically, we never stop improving.
06:05If you want to, you can improve until your legs give in.
06:12This is one of the things I like and we like to improve constantly
06:17because we never stop improving.
06:20We feel very involved and it depends a lot on the availability of the team-mates.
06:25This is one of the things that the coach has brought this year,
06:29the desire to get the ball and give the team-mate as many options as possible.
06:36This is the easiest way to highlight the skill of the goalkeeper.
06:45When a team-mate gives you so many options,
06:49it becomes much easier to get out of the opposition's pressure
06:53and highlights the goalkeeper.
07:00Hi Mattia, I'm Marco Paridon, Juventus 24.
07:03I'll take a step back to connect to tomorrow's game.
07:06I wonder if the wins against PSV and Leipzig
07:08gave you a different understanding of the strength of this Juve in Europe.
07:15The win against Leipzig raised the standard of where we can go.
07:24It gave us an awareness that we probably hadn't reached yet.
07:31We know that by giving our all, each of us can raise the bar
07:37and try to achieve goals that we set for ourselves each season.
07:43That game showed us that when we're fully connected
07:48and create a special synergy that you can feel,
07:52you can really cut it with a knife.
07:54There was a crazy amount of energy.
07:56That develops a bit of dopamine in you
08:00and you want that flow of energy to become a habit.
08:06By working as we're doing now,
08:09by getting to know and interacting with each other as much as possible,
08:16both on and off the pitch,
08:18by raising the level of our performances,
08:20I think we can raise our standard of performance.
08:24But it's up to us.
08:30Hi Fabiana Della Valle, Gazzetta dello Sport.
08:32You mentioned a new philosophy and an attempt to build something new.
08:36Can you go into a bit more detail
08:38and explain what that new philosophy is at the level of the game?
08:45You should talk to the coach about this.
08:47It's a game, Mattia.
08:50As the coach says, it's not just about attacking but also defending.
08:54The goalkeeper has to be the defender,
08:57the forwards have to be the forwards
08:59and the forwards have to be the defenders.
09:02Philosophy is not just about the game,
09:04it's also about the mental state.
09:07What we're trying to build is an attitude,
09:10a mental state that helps us simplify what we do on the pitch.
09:16It's something that develops with the attitude you put in during training,
09:21with the knowledge of your team-mate,
09:24with the knowledge of yourself,
09:26knowing when you can go further
09:27and when you have to slow down a bit to protect your physicality
09:33so that you don't put the team in trouble.
09:36As I said, we're trying to build something new
09:42and I think the coach and his staff are trying to simplify,
09:49help us and shorten the building time of this philosophy.
09:57Perfect.
10:02Perfect.
10:04Hi Mattia, Alessandra D'Angiola from E-Sport.
10:07In this new Juve, in a new Champions League,
10:11with the new formula,
10:13you talked about motivation at the start.
10:15What kind of motivation does this competition give you
10:18and what kind of motivation does it give you personally?
10:22Personally, when I was a 6-7-8-year-old boy,
10:27I dreamed of playing in the Champions League.
10:30It was the kind of competition that,
10:32if I could express a desire,
10:34I would express the desire to play one game in the Champions League.
10:38Obviously, as you grow, your ambitions change
10:41and it's right that it's like that
10:43because that way you find the constant motivation to improve.
10:46The Champions League is the highest competition in the world
10:50when it comes to a player.
10:52If you don't find motivation in these games,
10:54I don't know where you can find it.
10:56So, what I perceive is the energy that changes.
11:00Now, I don't want to say…
11:02Serie A is spectacular,
11:04it's exciting, even Serie A, obviously.
11:07But for me personally, the Champions League
11:09gives me something inside that reminds me a little
11:13of the Mattia as a child who dreamed of playing it.
11:21Good morning, Marco Bo, Tuttosport.
11:23Eight games and only one goal conceded in the league, a record.
11:27As a goalkeeper, have you ever felt so protected among your peers?
11:30And what's the secret to conceding so few goals?
11:35The secret, I think, is everyone's participation.
11:41As I said before, the first defenders are the forwards.
11:46I think it's a matter of attitude.
11:51When there are 11 players,
11:53and all 11 of them fight,
11:56and help each other not to concede a goal,
11:59it becomes a mental state.
12:02And at the start of the season,
12:05we're doing very well,
12:08we have to continue to cultivate this kind of mentality
12:12and this kind of attitude.
12:14I feel super protected,
12:16regardless of the mentality we're putting on the pitch,
12:21but also because of the quality of all my teammates,
12:25but not just the 10 who play,
12:27but all the 23.
12:29I feel like we're building a solid mentality.
12:36We haven't reached the maximum yet,
12:38we're at the beginning,
12:39so I think there are still a lot of margins.
12:45Good morning, Mattia.
12:46Hi, Emanuele Gamba, Repubblica.
12:48I noticed you're using a very sharp,
12:50well-cultivated and appropriate language.
12:53I wanted to know if you're prepared for this,
12:55you've done some studies,
12:56you're doing something special,
12:58if it has something to do with the future of your career,
13:02after you stop playing?
13:05No, luckily I read a lot,
13:08and probably reading a lot of books.
13:10I thank you for pointing that out,
13:13but no, I read a lot.
13:15I haven't done any particular studies,
13:18I have a degree in higher education,
13:20but I have the chance to do a lot of retreats
13:23and read a lot of books,
13:24and probably this unconsciously helps me.
13:31Hi, Antonio Paolino, Radio Bianconera.
13:33You've spoken a lot about the mental aspect,
13:36almost as if this was what was missing,
13:39I won't say last year,
13:40but a few more steps.
13:42What is the quality of the team,
13:44in your opinion,
13:45speaking as a group and as a coach?
13:47Where can you get to?
13:50The quality of the team is...
13:53the maximum potential is very high.
13:55Have we reached that yet?
13:57I don't think so,
13:58but that's the beauty of being a team
14:00and being a player.
14:02Knowing that there are limits,
14:04when you become aware of them,
14:07you try to overcome those limits.
14:09Knowing how to accept a limit,
14:11working on it and overcoming it.
14:13The mental aspect is fundamental,
14:15not just in football,
14:16but in all jobs,
14:17in all areas.
14:21I think it makes up 80% of a person.
14:24I always want to emphasise this,
14:27because I think it all starts from the mind.
14:32Especially in football,
14:34but in all sports,
14:36in all jobs,
14:37whether it's yours or that of any other professional.
14:41Everything we do,
14:43where we can really make a difference,
14:46but not just for us,
14:47but for others too,
14:48to help other people.
14:49I like to say this,
14:51because we have the opportunity
14:53to be listened to by so many people
14:55who live particular moments.
14:59I like to emphasise that,
15:01by taking care of the mental aspect,
15:03we can overcome difficult moments
15:05more easily.
15:09Thank you, Mattia Perini.
15:11Let's move on to questions for the coach.
15:15Good afternoon, coach.
15:17I'm from Juventus.com.
15:19Coming from Stuttgart,
15:21what game will you play tomorrow
15:23and which team is Stuttgart?
15:26A complete game.
15:28A complete game,
15:29because it's a team that plays well
15:31when the opponent gives them the chance
15:33to have the ball.
15:35It's a team that presses very well,
15:37especially in the first half.
15:39There are moments when they regroup,
15:42often with an outside
15:44that builds a line of five players
15:48that becomes difficult to overcome.
15:51It's a team that I like,
15:54in the way I see football.
15:56It's a team...
15:59It's a great game to play,
16:03because we'll have to compete
16:05with whoever wants to have control of the game
16:08and then use what we have
16:12to attack a team
16:14that is very complete,
16:16in my opinion.
16:19Good afternoon, coach.
16:20Filippo Bonsignori,
16:21Corriere dello Sport.
16:22Perini was talking about
16:23a new level of awareness
16:24after the win at Leipzig.
16:26Did you notice that
16:28that was the first turn of the season?
16:30I saw and experienced
16:32a beautiful moment there,
16:34because we all faced
16:36the difficulties together.
16:39Even those who didn't
16:41get on the pitch,
16:43the bench was...
16:45You could feel a positive energy
16:51that spread to those
16:53who were close to us.
16:56Then you saw it on the pitch.
16:58We came out of the difficulties
17:00and faced them in the right way.
17:03It was a deserved win
17:05and it was a great win.
17:08Every game has its own story.
17:10Tomorrow we'll be focused
17:12to put in a good performance
17:13against a good team.
17:17Good afternoon, coach.
17:18Good afternoon, coach.
17:19Giorgio Albanese, Sport Italia.
17:21Mattia and other players
17:23have said that
17:25they can see
17:27your commitment
17:29and the work you're doing
17:31to improve
17:33every aspect of the team.
17:36What is the limit
17:38that Juventus
17:40wants to overcome?
17:43We have to overcome everything.
17:45We can always improve
17:47in terms of the game
17:49and as a team.
17:51It's up to us.
17:53As Mattia said,
17:55it's up to all of you.
17:57If we want to improve,
17:58we can always improve.
18:00That's how we are.
18:01We're open and humble.
18:03We're a team that's growing
18:05and working hard.
18:07We're a team that faces
18:09the next game of our calendar
18:12tomorrow.
18:13Stuttgart.
18:15We want to play
18:17with the right attitude
18:19and we want to do things together
18:21in the right way.
18:25Good afternoon.
18:26Massimiliano Rossi,
18:27Corriere della Sera.
18:28I wanted to ask,
18:29since everyone is equal,
18:31if Caguru is more equal
18:33than the others,
18:34in terms of what he's doing
18:36defensively and in terms of construction,
18:38if it's difficult to play without him.
18:40And also on Caguru,
18:42if you think Milan gave you a good gift.
18:45Everyone is equal.
18:47Why? Because of you.
18:53I've never said...
18:54Ah!
18:55It's different.
18:57I consider everyone to be equal.
18:59It doesn't mean they're all the same.
19:01Mattia isn't the same as Michele.
19:03Pierre isn't the same as Federico.
19:05They're different guys.
19:07I expect the same things.
19:09That's true.
19:11They're different guys
19:14who play differently.
19:16That's for sure.
19:18But in the end,
19:20I expect the same things from them.
19:22But they're not the same.
19:24Not for me.
19:26Not at all.
19:28Can you play with Caguru now?
19:30Yes, definitely.
19:36Good evening.
19:37Fabrizio Ferrero, Sport Mediaset.
19:39While I was speaking to Perin,
19:41I saw that you used to come to us often.
19:43You were pleased.
19:45Satisfied.
19:46A lot.
19:47You conveyed your thoughts.
19:49It's something that other players have shown.
19:51For example, in Gregorio's dressing room,
19:53in the tunnel,
19:55Juventus Lazio said,
19:57the coach is right,
19:59there are no easy games,
20:01there are no easy targets.
20:03He's communicating a lot with his players.
20:05Of course, to get results,
20:07you have to wait.
20:09Is this a success?
20:11To have the dressing room in your hands,
20:13to have the team with you?
20:15The choices you make,
20:17when you leave someone out,
20:19are better accepted.
20:21Is this your first win?
20:23My first win is to have strong players.
20:25This is the first win
20:27a coach can have.
20:29I have strong players.
20:31Mattia, Michele, Carlo,
20:33and all the others.
20:35In our case,
20:37we all go in the same direction.
20:41Knowing that our personal goals
20:43can be achieved
20:45if we manage
20:47to do well as a team,
20:49then everything is much easier.
20:53At the moment, we are like this.
20:55A team that knows what it wants.
20:57A team that has a great attitude,
20:59especially in difficulties.
21:01We have to continue like this.
21:19Where do you see the strengths
21:21of the Stuttgart VfB?
21:23Are there players
21:25you have to pay special attention to?
21:27Everyone,
21:29because it's a team
21:31that plays very well collectively.
21:37As I said before,
21:39we have to be a team
21:41that competes very well
21:43to have the ball,
21:45to have control of the game.
21:47It's a team
21:49that feels very good
21:51when it comes to consolidating possession
21:53and when it comes to
21:55coming into the opposition's half
21:57and playing football well.
21:59Because then
22:01they manage to bring
22:03a lot of men,
22:05especially the two midfielders,
22:07who can create problems.
22:09The two midfielders
22:11are very intelligent in the game
22:13and in the construction of the game.
22:15They help the two midfielders
22:17to organise the team
22:19and bring the ball
22:21to these six players
22:23who are going to attack.
22:27Defensively,
22:29they do very well in the first half.
22:31As I said before,
22:33it's a very complete team
22:35that knows what to do on the pitch
22:37and can interpret
22:39the game very well.
22:43We have to compete with them
22:45and not allow them
22:47to be so comfortable
22:49on the pitch.
22:51We have to try
22:53to bring the game to our side.
22:55That's what's good for us
22:57and what's not good for them.
22:59We have to keep the ball
23:01and fight when we have to.
23:03We have to defend when we have to
23:05and press high when it's time
23:07but together.
23:09When we have to regroup
23:11we have to regroup
23:13and close the spaces.
23:15We have to play internally
23:17and orient the pressure
23:19or consolidate possession
23:21to attack quickly.
23:23When we're in their half
23:25we have to put them in trouble
23:27and get the right players
23:29at the right time
23:31to get close to the box
23:33and create chances
23:35and finish well.
23:37Good morning.
23:39I'll start with a fact.
23:41Nanni Ildiz has scored
23:43zero goals in the last four games.
23:45Who?
23:47Nanni Ildiz.
23:49Can you tell us
23:51if it's OK for you
23:53to hide these numbers
23:55because of all the work
23:57you do for the team?
23:59I'm delighted
24:01with the work Kenan does.
24:05He's a guy
24:07who plays
24:09and puts
24:11all his quality
24:13into the team.
24:15Like all of us
24:17I can do better
24:19but I'm very happy
24:21with what I see.
24:23Let's not forget
24:25that in football
24:27we don't pay enough attention
24:29because age is
24:31important in football
24:33but he's a 2005 player
24:37who's contributing
24:39a lot to the team
24:41and I'm happy
24:43to have him
24:45with us, both on and off the pitch.
24:49I'm happy with his attitude
24:51and his desire to improve
24:53and his training
24:55and the way he approaches games
24:59both defensively and offensively.
25:03I remember the last game here
25:05in the Champions League
25:07he scored a great goal
25:09and today
25:11he's part of a team that works
25:13and I'm very happy
25:15with his work and with the team.
25:19He can improve
25:21and I can improve
25:23and we can all improve.
25:27Good morning Alessandra D'Angiorra
25:29from eSport.
25:31You said
25:33that for you
25:35they're all starting players
25:37but not all the same.
25:39What do you think about starting players
25:41for tomorrow?
25:43Can Danilo be one of them?
25:45He praised how he started
25:47with Lazio.
25:49They already know that
25:51and so do I.
25:55They can all be starting players tomorrow.
26:01Guglielmo Buccheri
26:03from La Stampa.
26:05Can Cambiaso still be captain tomorrow?
26:09Next.
26:11Gamba.
26:19Good morning, Gamba Repubblica.
26:21You and Ones are
26:23both 42 years old.
26:25You and Ones are the same age
26:27as Arteta and Alonso.
26:29From this Champions League team
26:31could you
26:33have a new generation of coaches?
26:35Yours.
26:37Who knows.
26:39We'll see in the end.
26:43But it means
26:45that age is relative
26:47and it matters
26:49how much you want to believe
26:51and how much you want to pay attention.
26:53Tomorrow we'll face a great team
26:55with a very prepared coach.
26:57He shows that
26:59by seeing his team on the pitch.
27:01Tomorrow we'll compete
27:03with a good team
27:05and the rest
27:07we'll see
27:09only at the end.
27:11We're already thinking
27:13only about tomorrow
27:15and we're aiming for a good performance
27:17to get a positive result.
27:19But you mentioned coaches
27:21and it's a pleasure
27:23because two of them
27:25we played together
27:27and the other against.
27:29Today we're training
27:31in the Champions League.
27:35Good morning. Marco Boa, Tuttosport.
27:37We continue with a game
27:39every three days.
27:41Can a player like McKinney
27:43be more useful against a team
27:45like Stuttgart or Inter?
27:49He can be useful
27:51against Stuttgart or Inter.
27:53He's always useful.
27:55But he's also focused
27:57on tomorrow.
27:59We'll have time to prepare
28:01and think about Inter's game.
28:03We're close to tomorrow
28:05and we're 100% focused.
28:07Who's going to play tomorrow
28:09is 100% focused
28:11and then we'll see.
28:17Fabiana Della Valle, Gazzetta dello Sport.
28:19Looking at the statistics
28:21of Stuttgart
28:23against the Champions League
28:25you can see that it's a team
28:27that creates a lot of chances
28:29even if they don't score a lot.
28:31You're expecting a completely
28:33different game
28:35from the last one we saw.
28:37Given that Juve are having
28:39a bit of a hard time
28:41against teams that defend
28:43with low blocks,
28:45do you think this could be
28:47an advantage for you?
28:49It's definitely going to be
28:51a different game
28:53against a team
28:55that plays well.
28:57The statistics
28:59that you just mentioned
29:01are the ones
29:03that I agree with.
29:07But I have to say
29:09that it's not just Juventus
29:11that's having a hard time
29:13against teams that defend.
29:15Today and in the world
29:17I don't know
29:19if you could name a team
29:21that plays against a team
29:23that defends like that
29:25and has the ability to put them
29:27in front of goals
29:29and play a great game.
29:31I don't think you can do that
29:33against any team today.
29:35It's a game for everyone
29:37and that's why it's so good.
29:39That's why we always have to
29:41give our all
29:43and believe in our chances
29:45and our strategy on the pitch.
29:47We have to believe
29:49until the end
29:51just like we did in the last game.
29:53In terms of the opposition
29:55because they were down to 10 men
29:57we attacked them
29:59and in the end
30:01we deserved to win.
30:03Hopefully tomorrow
30:05we can show a good performance
30:07and play good football.
30:09I mean playing good football.
30:11Go and watch my
30:13conference before Lazio
30:15and if we play good football
30:17we have a better chance of winning.
30:25I've analysed Juventus' approach
30:27between the league and the Champions League.
30:29There's a bit of a contrast.
30:31In Europe
30:33you've had three straight games
30:35and you've scored six
30:37and you're behind the best
30:39in terms of goals.
30:41There's a bit of a contrast
30:43between the league and the Champions League.
30:45What's the difference between the league
30:47and the Champions League?
30:49There's no difference.
30:51It's the next game of the season
30:53against a strong team
30:55who play well,
30:57defend well and press well.
30:59We're ready
31:01to show
31:03a great performance.
31:05I don't see any difference
31:07between the league
31:09and the Champions League.
31:11In every game
31:13there's a different story
31:15and different strategies.
31:17We have to put them into practice
31:19and do our best
31:21because in the end
31:23we have a better chance of winning
31:25than our opponents.
