Juventus, competing for a UEFA Champions League spot, will face Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico tomorrow at 19:30. The Roman club is also in contention for a European spot and is level on points with Juventus, making this one of the most crucial matches in European football this week. Tudor addressed the media in a pre-match press conference and responded to their questions.

Can Juventus be rebuilt?

“That’s a question about the future, and I don’t want to answer it. We must focus on the present and not think about the future. Please don’t ask me about the future. We’ll see later.”

What kind of Juventus do you want to see tomorrow?

“We’ve executed many parts of our plans well. I’ve seen fantastic first halves, like the game in Rome where we played very well and created chances. From day one, I’ve said that when building a team, we shouldn’t limit ourselves—we must work on everything. There are issues that might not help, but we must not give up and instead give our best.”

Why does your team never score in the second half?
“I never think about these things. I always train the team to play well. We must always play with intensity and maintain that mindset. If we slow down after scoring the first goal or say, ‘Play calmly,’ no, that’s not the case. There are many things I could discuss, but now is not the time, and it wouldn’t help.”

Is this match a final for Champions League qualification? Who will replace Cambiaso?

“Regarding Cambiaso, you already know the answer. This is one of six or seven finals. It’s an important match, but if you lose the last two, it’s a disaster. All teams are fighting for something and want to win. These three matches are similar. This one is the most important because it’s the first.”
