Hellas Verona coach Baroni delighted with Juventus draw: So important fans proud of their players

Hellas Verona coach Marco Baroni was pleased with their 2-2 draw against Juventus.

Baroni says the point was thoroughly deserved.

"Yes, it's a satisfaction," he said. "I'm happy for the boys and for the public because today they saw a courageous team that gave everything on the pitch and played with pride.

"We attacked Juventus by taking away their game ideas. We'll take the draw but we're also disappointed because we also need a win against a big team, but with this type of attitude, desire, determination and ideas I'm more confident. It will be tough but together with these fans, who made the stadium beautiful today, we will be able to fight to the end."

"I gave the team a lot of confidence and today, even if we lost Serdar due to a small problem, it was an opportunity for Dani Silva to play from the first minute. All new players they are creating a great alchemy with the fans, and I like that my team excites us by playing with ideas. Today we also spent a lot physically and now we have to put this result behind us and recover quickly because in a few days we have a difficult and important match."

At the end of the match, Baroni encouraged the fans to applaud the team under the Curva.

He added, "Yes, because we on the staff clearly give ideas and the path to follow, but it is right that the applause goes to the team because today everyone gave so much. The most important and most beautiful for me as a coach is that the stadium is proud of them."
