Amoruso: I am full of confidence in Tudor and will include Juventus in the championship

Hupu September 25th He watched with his own eyes the replacement of generations of Juventus' black and white jerseys, but his emotional bond with Juventus has always been the same: it has never broken and never faded. No wonder when we reunited with our old friends, we laughed happily while recalling the memories. This former scorer never missed their agreement - to watch Juventus games. "We will not fall for a single game," Amoruso said with a smile, "we are simply terminally ill..."

Amoruso, a former Italian player, played for Juventus twice between 1996-1999 and 2001-2002. Recently, he accepted an interview with the media, talked about the current Juventus team, and also talked about Vlahovic's performance.

Who is the strongest among the retired players you have ever fought?

"The overall level is very high, everyone is in full shape. Perotti is particularly difficult to deal with. After all, he has just retired and his health is still in excellent condition. Thomas Locatelli, Tony, and Budel are also good players."

Where is the former Juventus teammate?

"Of course it's Vieri. Now we often play amateur matches in Italy. But as long as we partner with him, we never won the championship (laughs)."

Strange, you had a very tacit understanding back then...

"We lived in the same room during the training camp. When we first arrived at Juventus, the championship team led by Lippi immediately felt like home. I remember one time in Tokyo, at 4 a.m., he and I were frightened by the earthquake and jumped out of bed and rushed to the hotel lobby half naked. The Japanese front desk looked at us and laughed non-stop. At that time, we were young and ambitious, but we respected each other: I cheered him when he started, and he was the same when I appeared."

You were famous for your substitute killer: 99 substitute scored 17 goals. What's the secret?

"It's mainly mentality. I read the game carefully on the bench and be ready to invest at any time. So that after I play, I know what to do and how to use adrenaline on the game."

is a bit like Vlahovic now...

"I think he was too tight when starting, as if the responsibility on his shoulders was overwhelming and it was difficult to enter the rhythm of the game. When he came on the bench, he was lighter - less time allowed to try. In short, I don't think Juventus really gave him the most suitable environment for playing. He performed well recently because the team played more openly, so that he could Create opportunities. What else does he lack? Be more active in the team's offense when it is blocked. You can easily find goals by running. If you stand and wait for the ball, you will never score."

He has two or three competitors this year

"I believe Tudor can inspire everyone's best condition, and they have different characteristics. Tudor is like Lippi back then, which can make everyone feel important and have no absolute main force. If I were asked to choose, I will always use Vlahovic at this stage: he has a body, can score goals and assists, and is the strongest, just be more confident and trust Tudor completely. "

Where are the other forwards?

"Jonathan is a typical penalty area killer. He runs like Inzaghi, who specializes in picking the front post and wanders in the offside line. Opunda can tear the defense line with speed, but I don't like his single arrow, unless he is equipped with a striker - a double striker may be matched with Vlahovic, especially in the anxious moment, I believe Tudor will try this set sooner or later."

What kind of achievements can this Juventus achieve?

"I am full of confidence in Tudor. He is my friend and we often contact each other. He is very principled and knows how to make players abide by the rules. It is not easy to reverse the decline... The current lineup is still far from Napoli and Inter Milan, but Tudor's mentality can help the team narrow the gap, so I will also include Juventus in the championship ranks."
