"The players did not do as badly as everyone has made out. I was the first one to admit that we have to do more, and get ourselves out of this. We have to use the resources we have and make use of our qualities. I've seen the desire of this team. The pitch and climate are a disadvantage. I'm lucky enough to have worked abroad."
"The air you take in is different, it's so cold and we're not used to it. It's a matter of habits that are different to ours. Our desire needs to make up for this gap that exists between the two teams. They're very good at identifying players, it's not just the pitch and the cold. They have a lot of value and have done well in international competition."
Juventus have drawn each of their last three matches in all competitions, scoring only two goals across those games. The club has registered one victory in its last 12 Champions League away fixtures (D5 L6), the sole win coming at RB Leipzig in October 2024 (3-2). All four European away matches against Norwegian opponents have finished 1-1. The team faces Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League with concerns over an unfamiliar pitch and cold climate. Players have shown desire and must use available resources and qualities to compensate for the environmental disadvantage and the opponent's international experience.
