"We had two days of rest to recharge. Now we have three matches in a row before the international break and we've worked well. I'm not worried, I'm confident, and I believe the team is in good shape. Playing one match per week or three is a different kind of football; it needs to be repeated, and so a coach must be even better at making choices."
"It's difficult because sometimes you don't want to give up on certain players. But we paid for this, and we must make as few mistakes as possible. Certain players can play 50 games without problems; it depends on their characteristics."
"We have to be humble. We're facing a team that have a lot of technical solutions. At Atalanta, we have to think about ourselves. He's [Yildiz] always made the difference. For me, he's a complete player and we will have to do our best to try and contain him."
Juventus returned from the Club World Cup and collected 10 points from four Serie A matches while opening the Champions League with a 4-4 draw against Borussia Dortmund. A 1-1 draw with Hellas Verona ended their perfect start. Igor Tudor reported two days' rest, expressed confidence in the squad's condition, and stressed the challenge of managing playing time across a congested schedule. Atalanta recovered after early draws with emphatic wins over Lecce and Torino. Ivan Juric urged humility, warned about Juventus' technical options, and singled out Kenan Yildiz as a player who consistently makes the difference.
