Hupu News on October 19th: Juventus will face Como away from home in the seventh round of Serie A. Juventus coach Tudor attended the press conference before the game.

How does it feel to take over the team again after the break between national team matches?

"We don't have many players available, but the training effect is very good. I also gave the players a few days off because they really need to rest. McKennie just came back yesterday, but everyone is not injured and is in good condition. We have already conducted two joint training together to prepare for this game."

What do you think of Como? They have invested a lot of money in the transfer market.

"I don't care about their transfer spending. Tomorrow will be a difficult game because they are pretending to be a 'small team', but their quality cannot be underestimated. And all their players were hand-picked by Cesc Fabregas, which is a great thing for the club. Of course we respect them, but we have to play our own game."

Is it possible to change the formation?

"Maybe, maybe not. I rarely talk about what we prepare in advance, so that makes sense."

What do you think of Platini's comments about Yildiz?

"It's normal, even if you are not the coach or management of Juventus, everyone will talk about Juventus. This is the charm of football, everyone has his own opinion on 'what should be done best', but the coach knows the players best. I can say that Kenan has always played a role behind the striker under me, and he has the freedom to find The most comfortable space to move around. He plays well as a winger in the national team and always scores goals. If Yildiz is a 'problem', then we have no problem at all (laughs), he and my coaching staff have done a great job, and his growth has been very significant since I came here."

How difficult is it to change the team's style of play?

"The team is never static, because it is a living organism that will constantly change. Many problems will force you to adjust, sometimes positive changes, sometimes passively. Details are important, which is why if you only play one game a week, the team's state will be one way; but if you play one game every three days, it will be completely different.

"Sometimes the team wants to speed up, but the body cannot withstand it, and these are often no one consider. All discussions end up being: ‘We are Juventus and we have to win. ’—That’s right. But if we don’t win, everything we say here right now is meaningless. ""

"But I still have to say what I think and explain why. As long as you have a little rationality, you can understand what I mean. This is also the charm of football. It is difficult for the coach, because if you don't win at Juventus, no matter what you say Everything is wrong. I will make mistakes, but I will analyze them with my team. I think about how to help my players from morning to night, how to create something to get the best out of them."

Does Yildiz need to rest?

"No need."

Have you considered switching to a back four?

"I have played in the 3-4-3 formation for four or five years. But of course other options can be considered, especially in the absence of Bremer and Cabal, all options are open."

Can Conceicao or Jegrova play as a wing-back?

"It's very difficult. It's completely impossible for Gegrova. Conceição may be able to try. Gegrova will definitely not be able to play in this game. He has pubic and hip injuries."

How is Miretti's situation?

"I think he can return to training with the team next Monday."
