Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo: Lazio clash sure to be great game

Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo expects to be pushed to the limit today against Lazio.

Juve knows they're in for a big test.

“It's certainly going to be a great game, because Lazio-Juventus is an enjoyable match to play," Pirlo told JTV.

“It will also be difficult, as Lazio are a wonderful team and proved that in recent years, so it's tough, but exciting. We imagined their classic 3-5-2 with a very tight defence. They are very good on the counter, especially with Sergej Milinkovic-Savic as well as their forwards. This is why we must be wary of making technical errors that can spark those counters."

Juventus won midweek with a 4-0 Champions League victory over Ferencvaros.

“We had some interesting pointers in terms of performance and how we develop the attacking play from the midfield. We occupied the attacking spaces well and that is positive, so while we still need to improve, we are on the right track playing a different football to what this team was accustomed to in the past."
