Kalulu is preparing for his Europa League debut with Juventus. Tomorrow night, Dutch club NEC Nijmegen will visit the Allianz Stadium, and Juventus will look to bounce back after their disappointing last-minute away loss to Sassuolo in the previous round.

Kalulu said: "The past doesn't matter because you can't change it. We need to think about the next match and the future. After reviewing the match, we saw the mistakes we made and we are eager to improve. NEC Nijmegen is a team with a strong attack, and we must be careful, but we have prepared for this."

Does playing on Thursday and then on the weekend feel different? "In terms of days, there isn't much difference. You always have to be prepared, and you always have two or three days to recover."

Kalulu also spoke about Muani and his goal drought: "I know Randal very well. He has been working hard, even though he hasn't scored yet. But he will definitely help the team a lot, and I have no doubt about his season."

When asked about his personal goals, Kalulu didn't reveal much: "On a personal level, I have my own goals, but for now I'd rather keep them private. Of course, I hope to keep improving. I'm sure I'm far from my limit. As for the team, we want to achieve more."

Regarding a potential return to the Champions League through the Europa League: "I don't think that's the right way to think. Obviously, it's a different path, but there are still many strong teams. This will be our path."

Kalulu often plays alongside Conceição or Zegrova on the flanks: "Both are very good at attacking, though with different characteristics. My job is to adapt to their style of play and help them launch attacks. They are different, but it doesn't affect me much."

Finally, he also praised Koopmeiners: "He's a very easygoing person; you can joke and chat with him, and he trains very hard. On the field, he has physical and technical advantages and will give his best for us this season."
