Juventus goalkeeper Szczesny insists he can handle plastic pitch

Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny insists he can handle Young Boys' plastic pitch.

Bianconeri captain Giorgio Chiellini won't play on it for fear of injury.

“It changes things a little, because it's always faster on a synthetic pitch," Szczesny said.

“But you'd play these great Champions League evenings on sand, so it doesn't make much difference.

“We expect a difficult game against a team that has created a lot at home. We'll therefore need to be attentive in defence.

“Finishing top is crucial, we've deserved it up to now and we need to confirm it tomorrow. Then we can await the draw with more tranquility."
