Juventus coach Pirlo: I want to bring fresh enthusiasm

Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo is eager to bring fresh enthusiasm to the squad.

Pirlo replaced Maurizio Sarri after another failing Champions League campaign.

“I want to bring back the enthusiasm, propose a proactive football with great mastery of the game," Pirlo said at a press conference. “I told the lads two things: you always have to keep the ball and when you lose it, you must get it back quickly.

“I'm convinced that I'm in the right place at the right time. Tactically we could play with four or three at the back, I have no set formations.

“Enthusiasm must be brought day by day. We need to talk to the players, make them participate in training and make the players understand what we want. Juve always have one goal: to win.

“I immediately felt at ease, I met many people with whom I had worked."
