On the eve of Juventus' Europa League group stage home match against NEC Nijmegen, Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti was interviewed by Sky Sport Italia.

Coach Spalletti, is the team still haunted by Sunday night's disappointing result? Or have you moved past it by analyzing what happened and discussing the objectives we talked about after the match?

We have to do that. We have to reset completely and move forward with determination. Dwelling on past mistakes and regrets is useless—it only causes us to lose position and the initiative.

Of course, we conducted a thorough analysis of that match afterward. As you said, we absolutely cannot let similar mistakes happen again. We need to ensure we make completely different decisions at those critical moments in the match—even when the situation is chaotic and the pace is very intense, we must stay calm and make the right choices.

You mentioned earlier you don't want to talk much about injuries anymore, but you did welcome back Cambiaso and McKennie. However, you can't use Koopmeiners, who is suspended, and Zhegrova isn't in the squad. So in terms of available players, the situation is still quite tight. My question is: what is the physical condition of Cambiaso and McKennie? And regarding Sandro, who we've seen—can you help us understand how many minutes they might be able to play?

Regarding McKennie, as I said at the press conference, I hope he can start tomorrow. For players coming back from a rest period, it's difficult and unrealistic to expect them to play 90 minutes immediately. So we'll need to manage substitutions carefully. Plus, we have another difficult match two days later—Serie A Round 5 at home against Atalanta—so we have to arrange and distribute physical load sensibly, while fully assessing how much the players have already exerted themselves.

As for Cambiaso, his condition has improved, and he participated fully in today's team training, showing very good form. However, during certain movements and moments, he felt some mild discomfort, which caused some concern. But after training, his ankle is in good condition with no swelling or effusion, and he himself is confident he can play and help the team.

However, tomorrow morning we'll need to carefully weigh all the pros and cons. We absolutely don't want to see his injury return or worsen—especially since everyone knows the international break is coming soon. If he gets injured again, he'll face a long period of inactivity, which will significantly affect his fitness and competitive form.

Given the actual personnel situation, the team's rotation options are very limited. But I'd still like to ask: can Gatti, who hasn't played much recently, start tomorrow, so some defenders who've been continuously playing can get rest?

Gatti will play tomorrow.

And up front, can you start with two strikers from the beginning tomorrow? Or is it still too early, and keeping a strong option on the bench to deploy at any moment would be better?

Regarding the attacking setup, we have two or three options to consider, but this requires very careful evaluation. In this case, I want to maintain tactical intrigue and not give our opponent an advantage by revealing our tactical plans beforehand.

Speaking of tomorrow's opponent, last season they were described as one of Europe's most attacking-minded teams in their philosophy—I mean in terms of their style and attacking tendencies, as they're not a traditional top club. But with this extremely aggressive approach, they qualified for the Champions League playoffs for the first time in their history, which is truly remarkable. In any case, they're a team full of passion and such an attitude toward the game...

Yes, they're certainly an extremely creative and impressive team tactically. The style they display in their matches is impressive. They maintain strong attacking power, averaging two goals per match. Although they've conceded three or four goals in some games, you must anticipate everything when facing them. This requires intense concentration and our intensity must constantly match their high tempo. Even in moments when the match seems relatively calm, our minds must maintain very high operational speed, because the opponent can always unleash an attack you completely didn't expect, or even completely reverse the normal flow of the match.

Although these are two different competitions—how important is playing well tomorrow? Given the various discussions that have emerged recently and Carnevali's important statements, could a good performance tomorrow set a solid foundation for Sunday's match? Combined with what you just said, how crucial is tomorrow's match?

Extremely important, very crucial.As I mentioned, everything we do at the training ground from now on is important, because we'll be there and then face the evening. It's especially important that we start clarifying and solving problems immediately, because this determines where we need to start making adjustments from the beginning.

Everyone has seen how much emotion and negative impact a defeat can bring us. So while I wouldn't say a good performance is entirely equivalent to a win, it can rebuild and create confidence within the team, giving us the assurance to propose and execute tactics that can create a better future for us.

What about Carnevali?

Carnevali is truly a man of action who deeply understands football, a very good person, and an extremely experienced club executive. Throughout the football world, people respect him for his excellent ability, good temperament, and calm, balanced demeanor. He's truly an honest and admirable man.Although he may have said something perhaps a bit strong before, precisely because I respect and care about him greatly, I must try to be the person he expects, and absolutely not disappoint him.
