According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Chiellini spoke to Sky Sport about Juventus's Europa League draw and the team's recent situation under Spalletti, stating that while the draw is not easy, the squad wants to go as far as possible.

Juventus and Milan must take greater responsibility...

Chiellini said: "We also have the responsibility of securing the fifth spot in the Champions League coefficient ranking for Italy. We're not aiming only for that, but we've seen its importance. We appreciate this objective, but we must prove it week after week."

Can Juventus compete on all fronts?

Chiellini said: "In Italy, Inter has a significant advantage over all other teams. There are also some teams adjusting, and we too will have changes in the coming days. The team has worked with the objective of competing. But there are still many steps from competing to winning the championship. We know it's not easy, and changes will also be influenced by injuries to other squads. Inter are the biggest favourites, and then it depends on injuries. We focus first on ourselves. Yildiz's injury has made us a bit unlucky, but other players will have the opportunity to step up."

Regarding Yildiz's situation, Chiellini said: "The situation is clear. He suffered a metatarsal injury and needs surgery, which will keep him out for several months. This is not an injury that will affect his future—he will make a complete recovery when he returns. It's a headache for us, but it won't impact his career or his prospects."

On the need for the team to continue improving in terms of concentration, leadership, and managing difficult moments, Chiellini said: "Absolutely. After some less-than-ideal seasons, it's harder for the squad to build confidence in difficult situations. We've added personality and solidity, which we lacked last season and why we failed to qualify for the Champions League. Compared to last season, this squad is stronger, more stable, and has greater depth. The coach has been with us since the start of the season. We're ready, and ultimately it comes down to what happens on the pitch. We were a bit short on energy in the away match at Frosinone, but we still won an important game."
